Ford To Move Focus Production From Michigan To China

Well where's tRump?

Once this transition is completed, the Focus will reportedly be the biggest automotive export ever from China to the U.S.

I've been to China several times and you will see Buick, Chevy and a lot of European brand cars there, but I don't recall seeing any Fords in China. Maybe they also want to grow their China business, too?
