DALIAN, China -- Japanese companies once again are pouring money into Dalian, responding to entreaties from Beijing as China seeks investment to combat its trade troubles with the U.S.
A Honda Motor joint venture with information technology giant Neusoft began operations here Wednesday to develop connected-car services. The 300 million yuan ($42.4 million) entity is the Japanese automaker's sole Chinese base dedicated to this field, and it is staffed with around 50 people for now.
