Amid weakness at home, Ford, Toyota turn to China

NEW YORK — Ford Motor[[F) plans to build a third assembly plant in China while Toyota Motor [[TM) will start selling an entry-level family car there, as the world's automakers pour more resources into the fast-growing Chinese car market amid weakness in their home countries.
Ford said Friday it plans to spend $490 million on the assembly plant in China. The factory will make the next-generation Focus compact car, which Ford plans to sell globally.
Maybe they need capactiy in China to build cars for the world's largest auto market, which is conveniently located in nerby... China.

If the fact that there will be a Chinese assembly plant of the Focus means they will be importing the Focus from China to the US, you could use that same logic to infer that the Focus is already imported from the following countries:

China [[that's right, there is already an assembly plant in China cranking out the Focus)
Australia
Argentina
Mexico
South Africa
Germany
Philippines
Portugal
Taiwan
Spain
Russia
Vietnam

And then of course there is also an assembly plant right here in Michigan.

It's a global car... made all over the world, sold all over the world. Quit spreading misinformation.
