Honda plans to export small cars built in China to Europe beginning in 2004.

Honda hopes to set up a second plant in Guangzhou Province in southern China, with an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 units.

The plant would also export cars to Asia, but they would not be sold in China or Japan.
