During that time, the government imposed restrictions on movement to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has led to over 4,000 deaths in world’s second-biggest economy.The two Chinese ventures of Ford rival General Motors Co also reported double-digit growth in April, when many of the government’s movement restrictions were relaxed.
