现代汽车中国工厂恢复生产

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.

现代汽车(Hyundai Motor)已恢复其中国工厂的生产。此前，一家中国供应商因未收到货款而拒绝提供必要的部件，导致这些工厂停止运营。

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.

这家车企表示，其中国工厂已于周三下午早些时候恢复运营。在此前的首尔早盘交易中，现代汽车的股价一度下挫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.

现代汽车周二披露称，中国市场销售大幅下降意味着，其中国子公司北京现代(Beijing Hyundai)可能无法支付塑料燃料箱的货款，其“正在研究解决方案”。韩国媒体此前报道称，未结款账单高达1700万美元。

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

今年6月，现代汽车在其最大市场中国的销量下降了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.

现代汽车销量下滑的主要原因在于，在今年早些时候首尔方面开始在朝鲜半岛安装由美方拥有和操作的导弹防御系统之后，北京方面对韩国企业发动了经济报复。韩国部署导弹防御系统，是为了防范来自朝鲜的威胁。
