"Volvo is to become the latest Western carmaker to start producing vehicles in China, the firm has confirmed.
The Swedish-based firm, a subsidiary of US giant Ford, is to produce its S30 saloon at a plant in the south western city of Chongqing. "

Should be good for sales, once you've had a Chinese, very soon you are ready for another!

Sending work to China sucks, the aerospace company I work at has had 30% of it's work sent to Bandung in China because they can do the same work for 1 bowl of rice a week, while former work mates get to visit the job centre and have to live off 1 bowl of rice per week.
