China’s automakers eye exports

It was one of those awkward moments for an up-and-coming automaker: as an alarm sounded, workers in bright blue uniforms rushed to rebalance an auto body that had gone awry on the assembly line.

It may be still close to its humble beginnings, but Geely Group, a privately owned Chinese car manufacturer, has global ambitions.

Geely and fellow Chinese upstart Chery Automotive are gearing up for expansion overseas, having seen sales of their compact cars soar in China at a time of slowing growth for bigger automakers like Volkswagen and Toyota.
