China Auto Sales Slip 6.1% in First Nine Months, CAAM Data Shows

China's wholesale car sales fell 6.1% year-on-year to 19.96 million units in January-September, per CAAM. The decline signals softening domestic demand and potential headwinds for the world's largest auto market, though the data is aggregate and lacks segment detail. This may weigh on global auto sector sentiment and China growth expectations.
