'We don’t like the trade war,' says one of China's biggest carmakers

Geely may not be directly hit by the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, but the Chinese automaker could still be hit in other ways if the dispute drags on, says its vice chairman and chief financial officer, Daniel Li. China's third-largest automaker announced a 54 percent year-over-year jump in net profit for the first half of 2018. Some analysts remain upbeat about the company's prospects even though Geely's stocks traded lower on Thursday morning.
