Car sales in China rose 22.6 percent in May from a year earlier, according to data
released on Saturday, extending the double-digit gain made in the
previous month, as new models premiered at April's Beijing autoshow
started to hit the showrooms.
In May a total of
1.28 million sedans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), multi-purpose
vehicles (MPVs) and minivans were sold in the country. Back-of-the-envelope calculations: 1.28 x 12 = 15.4 million annual rate.
Compare this with US:
US Auto Sales is at a
current level of 13.73M, down from 14.37M last month and up from 11.69M
one year ago. This is a change of -4.49% from last month and 17.45%
from one year ago.
