現代汽車中國工廠恢復生產

Hyundai Motor has resumed production at its China factories after operations ground to a halt on Tuesday, when a local supplier refused to provide necessary parts after not receiving payment.

現代汽車(Hyundai Motor)已恢復其中國工廠的生產。此前，一家中國供應商因未收到貨款而拒絕提供必要的部件，導致這些工廠停止運營。

The carmaker said its China operations had resumed early in the afternoon on Wednesday after its shares dropped as much as 3.8 per cent during morning trade in Seoul.

這家車企表示，其中國工廠已於週三下午早些時候恢復運營。在此前的首爾早盤交易中，現代汽車的股價一度下挫3.8%之多。

On Tuesday Hyundai Motor revealed plunging sales in China meant its affiliate there, Beijing Hyundai, could not make the required payments for plastic fuel tanks and that it was “working to find a resolution”. South Korean media had reported the outstanding bill to be as much as $17m.

現代汽車週二披露稱，中國市場銷售大幅下降意味着，其中國子公司北京現代(Beijing Hyundai)可能無法支付塑料燃料箱的貨款，其“正在研究解決方案”。韓國媒體此前報道稱，未結款賬單高達1700萬美元。

In June Hyundai reported a 65 per cent drop in sales in China — its largest market.

今年6月，現代汽車在其最大市場中國的銷量下降了65%。

The drop in sales is in large part the result of Beijing’s economic retaliation against South Korean companies after Seoul began installing a US-owned and operated missile shield on the peninsula to defend against North Korea earlier this year.

現代汽車銷量下滑的主要原因在於，在今年早些時候首爾方面開始在朝鮮半島安裝由美方擁有和操作的導彈防禦系統之後，北京方面對韓國企業發動了經濟報復。韓國部署導彈防禦系統，是爲了防範來自朝鮮的威脅。
