      <description>Yang Rong, the automotive tycoon who went on a self-imposed exile in the United States after losing a 2002 feud with Bo Xilai, is making a comeback to the industry that made him China’s third-wealthiest businessman almost two decades ago.
This time, he is ditching the boxy minivans that gave his Brilliance Auto Group an early lead in China’s commercial vehicles market, hitching a ride instead on the government’s drive to produce new-energy vehicles. A total of 31,120 fully electric cars and...</description>

      <description>Brilliance China Automotive, the Chinese partner of German carmaker BMW, posted a 52 per cent rise in first-half profit from a year ago, driven by increased profit contribution from its joint venture BMW Brilliance as sales boomed.
The Shenyang-based carmaker's profit for the six months to June totalled 2.03 billion yuan (HK$2.55 billion), against 1.33 billion yuan in the same period last year, a statement filed with the Hong Kong stock exchange said yesterday. Revenue for the period fell 8.5...</description>

      <description>Brilliance China Automotive Holdings said yesterday it was likely to exceed a sales growth target of 25 per cent for this year, but analysts said the mainland carmaker's new clean-energy-vehicle project and a product upgrade by rival Mercedes-Benz could pressure short-term profit.
The mainland partner of BMW disclosed at its annual general meeting that sales jumped 25 per cent year on year to 67,000 cars during the first four months of the year. It also forecast that by the end of the year sales...</description>

      <description>Shares in Hong Kong-listed mainland carmakers jumped on speculation that mainland car buyers will continue to turn their back on Japanese vehicles.
Toyota's China sales fell about 40 per cent last month from a year earlier, Reuters reported yesterday, the latest sign of the fallout of the dispute between China and Japan over the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkakus in Japan. Mitsubishi said its China sales plunged 63 per cent from a year earlier.

Chairman Wu Xiaoan said this was because it still needed to invest in certain projects. But he added that shareholders might be rewarded next year.
