Ford Motor Company's CEO Jim Farley announced on Thursday evening local time that despite the challenging market environment, the company still achieved a profit of approximately $0.6 billion in its China operations last year. "I am happy to say that Ford made money in China, and I feel very proud of this, as not many (auto manufacturers) can say the same," Farley said after showcasing a car at the Detroit Auto Show. Farley mentioned that these profits include the export of vehicles like the Lincoln Nautilus, which is produced in China and aimed at markets like the USA and others. Ford typically does not disclose profits by region, but Farley has previously praised the company's increasingly developing 'light asset' strategy in China.
