China August vehicle sales up 10.3 percent year-on-year - industry group

Vehicle sales in China rose 10.3 percent in August from a year earlier, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), pointing to a recovery in the world's biggest automobile market.

During the first eight months of the year, vehicle sales rose 11.8 percent, putting the industry on track to reach the 7 percent annual growth forecast made by CAAM in January.

U.S. automakers are taking market share from their Japanese rivals, whose sales in China have been hit by a territorial dispute which flared anti-Japanese sentiment last September.
