BEIJING/FRANKFURT, Germany -- If Volkswagen's emissions cheating scandal in 2015 was akin to hitting a wall, China has proved to be a giant air bag.
The German automaker sold 1.99 million cars in China in the first half of 2018, up 9% from the same period a year earlier. In 2017, VW moved 4.18 million vehicles there, double the figure seven years earlier.
