FT: automakers have begun to reduce dependence on China

The Financial Times writes about this with reference to representatives of a number of auto companies and specialists.

As one of the top managers of the company Ford Ted Cannis, "there is a large-scale rethinking of logistics activities."

The article says that this decision of automakers was influenced by fears of a possible severance of relations between China and Western countries, as well as the policy of the Chinese authorities on zero tolerance for coronavirus, due to which there is a possibility of shutting down the enterprise.

Earlier, auto expert, Chief Vice Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov proposed to sell to Chinese companies part of the factories of automakers who left Russia.

Vice-President of the Automobile Service Association Alexander Kazachenko, in an interview with NSN, announced the stabilization of the situation with spare parts in Russia.
