China's GAC says U.S. tariffs have hindered vehicle export plans

[March 08, 2019]  BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group is keen to start vehicle exports to the United States but its plans have been hindered by U.S. tariffs and requests by U.S. dealers to change the name of its brand Trumpchi, its chairman said.

Zeng Qinghong made the comments to reporters on the sidelines of China's annual parliament meeting in Beijing on Friday.
