Chinese carmakers are abandoning or rethinking their plans to sell cars in Europe.
Last year, five Chinese automakers either announced plans to start European sales or exhibited cars at major European auto shows.
Currently, three of those - Brilliance Jinbei Automobile, Great Wall Automotive and Jiangling Motors - have delayed entry.
Geely Group still has not announced an entry date, and First Auto Works' European distributor has abandoned import plans for the Happy Emissary minicar.
