Comments analysis 1, Visteon, although the situation is very difficult, but after all not the same as Delphi filed for bankruptcy protection. And Delphi out of bankruptcy protection so far have not. However, Delphi's business in China is still booming, at least we see more of a Delphi to increase its investment in China, a new plant opened in China since the end of 2009 production of hybrid components and systems , after-sale technical aspects of the formal establishment of training center for vehicle maintenance and so on. But recently, a compressor plant in Suzhou Delphi plant closed temporarily due to stop production in North America, so we see no negative impact is not.

The two companies are similar fate in 1999, GM will be owned by Delphi Automotive Systems (later renamed the Delphi Group) spin-off, followed by Ford in 2000 to spin off Visteon.

The failure of the introduction of injection or sustained losses, inevitably interfere with the U.S. Department of suppliers in China for investment and decision-making?? Their headquarters in the priority level executives has been far behind behind.
3, now the "winter period" Ford looks relatively "freeze," but it's business in China has not shown significant improvement.
