Chinese authorities have fined Ford's joint Chinese venture 162.8 million yuan ($23.5 million) for monopoly law violations, Reuters first reported on Tuesday.
Details: The State Administration for Market Regulation said the Changan Ford venture had set a minimum resale price for its cars that deprived dealers in the Chinese municipality of Chongqing of pricing autonomy since 2013, per Reuters. The fine is equivalent to 4% of Changan Ford’s 2018 sales in Chongqing last year, it said.
What they're saying: Ford said in a statement that it respects China’s decision, per Bloomberg.
