Ford will expand production in China due to duties of Xi Jinping

The head of the Chinese office of Mark Liu Jichen told reporters that the localization of imported (read-American) details will be accelerated due to new tariffs. The Ford top manager emphasized: the process will take some time. Also, with the head branch, they intend to discuss the expansion of the gamma of models produced in China at the Changan-Ford and JMC-Ford plants. From the specifics of Liu Jichen abstained.

After Xi Jinping raised duties on American products Ford, the Ford concern stopped supplying to China F-150 Raptor, Mustang, Bronco, as well as Lincoln Navigator. Uncertainty affected sales: for example, the “off -road” Ford Ranger with a large share of imported details has become incredibly in demand, because a serious increase in prices is coming.

The Ford China branch will continue to develop a business in the region and will do everything possible so that high -quality products “do not suffer from external changes”. The statements of in -depth localization in China are curious: when Trump introduced duties against the Middle Kingdom, he sought to stimulate the development of production in the United States. While it comes out the other way around, because even Ford and General Motors are in no hurry to endure conveyors.

In the USA, Lincoln Nautilus and Buick Envision crossovers are delivered from China, and both models are massive: total sales in North America reached 84 thousand pieces in 2024. Also, according to CNBC, in the United States from China, spare parts worth about $ 15-20 billion are imported annually.
