【本文摘要】 AUTO production and sales in China are both likely to hit a record 10 million units this year, an industry executive forecast yesterday. Dong Yang, vice chairman of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said it was a "foregone conclusion" that both China's auto output and sales would surpass 8.7 million units in 2007. He added they will continue to expand at double-digit rates in 2008. In 2006, China overtook Japan to become the world's second-largest car market, trailing only the United States, with sales of 7.2 million units, up 25.13 percent from a year earlier. The country was also the world's third-largest vehicle producer, after Japan and the United States.
