Chinese sales have rebounded to pre-pandemic levels while U.S. and European demand is weak and the industry struggles to reverse multibillion-dollar losses. China's auto industry has largely recovered since the ruling party declared victory over the disease in March and allowed factories and dealerships to reopen. The last Beijing auto show in 2018 had 1,200 exhibitors from 14 countries and 820,000 visitors, according to organizers.
