China\'s June vehicle sales down 9.6% year-on-year: Industry association

Automobile sales in China fell 9.6% in June from the same month a year earlier, the country's biggest auto industry association said on Wednesday, marking the 12th consecutive monthly decline in the world's largest vehicle market.

Sales fell to 2.06 million vehicles, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said.

That followed declines of 16.4% in May and 14.6% in April, as well as the first annual contraction last year since the 1990s amid slowing economic growth and a crippling trade war with the United States.
