Chinese carmakers rule out interest in Chrysler

Chinese car companies have played down speculation that one of them is interested in acquiring Chrysler, the struggling US-based division of DaimlerChrysler. While, some of China’s vehicle manufacturers have previously indicated they want to be global players - such as Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Nanjing Automotive, First Automotive Works and Chery Automotive - representatives of SAIC, FAW and Chery say they have no interest in Chrysler.
