BEIJING/SHANGHAI - Automakers in China need to get used to a new normal of “low speed growth” in the world’s largest car market, the country’s top auto body said on Monday, as it reiterated predictions that sales will likely shrink for the third consecutive year in 2020.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers expects a 2% fall in vehicle sales. That would compare with an 8.2% drop last year, when sales were pressured by new emission standards in a shrinking economy also contending with tit-for-tat import tariffs with the United States. Industry watchers, though, are hoping a sales recovery in lower-tier cities, and an easing of trade tensions between China and the United States, can help ease the decline.
“We had high-speed growth for a consecutive 28 years, which was really not bad, so I hope everyone can calmly look at the market.”
Wonder how that will translate for TESLA ?

Please don't. Go on with sheer detachment of finance.
