Strike action at Honda’s Fushan car parts factory has had a knock-on effect causing work at the Japanese company’s four Chinese car assembly plants to be suspended.

The staff have been on strike since last week in an attempt to have their monthly wages increased from 1500 yuan ($220; £151) to 2500 yuan. A Honda China spokesman revealed that the company were trying to resolve the problem with the help of the local government.
