The market share of foreign car manufacturers and their joint ventures in China has fallen below the 25 percent mark for the first time. In June of this year, companies such as Volkswagen, Toyota, or General Motors together accounted for 24.5 percent of passenger car sales in the People's Republic, reports the Chinese business portal Diyi Caijing.
