SEOUL/BEIJING -- South Korea's Hyundai Motor is looking to halt one of its three factories in Beijing operated through a venture with China's BAIC Group, a company source confirmed to Nikkei on Wednesday.
The automaker has suffered sluggish sales in the world's largest car market since 2017, when a U.S.-developed missile shield was deployed in South Korea over Chinese protests. It is now reevaluating its Chinese operations after plants there ran at less than half capacity in 2018.
