Ford drives into China's car market

Ford's Chongqing factory includes a body shop where parts are welded together, a paint shop and an assembly building. The company's 800 factory workers make as little as 600 yuan (US$72.50) a month, what it takes the average US auto worker about three hours to earn. The plant may eventually have the capacity to build up to 170,000 cars a year, Thursfield said.
