Ford earned $900 million in earnings before taxes from its China operations last year, according to Yahoo Finance. Speaking at an analyst conference, Ford’s vice chair, John Lawler, revealed rare financial details about the company’s China operations, which have been undergoing restructuring to reduce losses. Lawler said China has continued advancing as a digital society and now leads in battery technology, development, and industry cost efficiency. Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have made Ford’s China operations more challenging, even as U.S. sales of its China-assembled Lincoln Nautilus have risen sharply.
