Car sales pick up in August
China's passenger-car sales grew at a faster pace in August as higher incentives by dealers offset government measures to cool the economy.
Retail deliveries of cars, sport-utility vehicles and multipurpose vehicles rose 59 percent last month from a year earlier to 977,300, the China Automotive Technology & Research Center said in a statement on Wednesday. Sales rose 15.4 percent in July, the center said last month.
