BEIJING -- China's Geely Automobile Holdings may step back from negotiations for a partnership and investment in Malaysian carmaker Proton Holdings.
"Although we have contemplated and studied the deal, the anticipated outcome may not be reached," Chairman Li Shufu of Geely's parent company, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, told the Nikkei on Monday. Li is in Beijing for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, in which he serves as a committee member.
