Beijing

CHINA'S vehicle sales grew a slow 0.7 per cent in November, prompting an industry association official to strike a grim note for car sales in the world's biggest car market this year and be-yond.

Sales last month totalled 2.96 million vehicles, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) showed. Sales in the first 11 months of this year totalled 25.8 million vehicles, up 3.6 per cent from the same period a year ago, it said.
