BEIJING—Chinese auto sales fell for a second month in August, an industry group reported on Sept. 11, adding to signs of economic malaise amid a worsening tariff battle with Washington.
Sales of SUVs, sedans, and minivans in the biggest global auto market contracted by 4.6 percent from a year earlier to 1.8 million units, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, sank 2.1 percent to 2 million units.
