Gasgoo.com (Shanghai) - Following the Diaoyu Island incident a few years ago, sales of Japanese branded automobiles fell severely in China. Only recently have Japanese automobile sales begun to bounce back. According to statistics from Gasgoo.com (Chinese), a total of 289,900 Japanese branded automobiles were sold in May, representing positive year-on-year growth of 15.1%. Japanese brands currently control a 19.1% stake in the Chinese passenger automobiles market. While that figure is still far less than the over 20% rates recorded before the Diaoyu Island news, it is still a major improvement from the 17.2% rate from 2014. By comparison, sales of German, US and Korean brand automobiles all fell over 9%, with their respective market shares also decreasing.
