In a surprising turn of events, China’s car sales have reportedly seen a significant jump in the January-February period. According to data from the China Passenger Car Association, passenger vehicle sales in China surged by 16.3% year-over-year during this time frame. This news comes as a welcome surprise to many, especially considering the challenges faced by the global automotive industry in recent times.
