Ford Motor Co. continued its China blitz Tuesday, announcing that it would join the country’s increasingly competitive luxury-car segment by introducing Lincoln automobiles to the Chinese market by 2014.
The announcement comes a day after Ford broke ground on its sixth factory in China, a $600 million plant in the southwestern city of Chongqing. Ford has committed about $5 billion since 2006 to build factories, grow its vehicle lineup and expand its dealership network in the world’s second-largest economy.
