Chinese auto-manufacturing conglomerate, BYD Co Ltd, has shown remarkable resilience by recommencing operations at two of its showrooms and a service centre in Hong Kong, which were targeted by vandals earlier in the week.
The incidents were promptly reported to the local law enforcement agencies and the company is prepared to fully cooperate with the ongoing investigations. In a statement released on its website, BYD’s exclusive agent in Hong Kong, JC Motor Ltd, announced that they anticipate the completion of restoration work at another affected showroom in Yuen Long, located in the New Territories district, by the week’s end.

The vandalism, which saw two BYD showrooms and a service centre smeared with red paint, and the roller shutter of its Yuen Long showroom rammed into by a vehicle, is still under investigation by the local police. The incidents have caused considerable damage, although the extent and financial implications remain undisclosed.
Despite the disheartening circumstances, JC Motor has confirmed the resumption of regular operations at its showrooms in the Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui districts, as well as at its service centre in Tin Shui Wai, in the New Territories.
No further comments have been made by JC Motor on the cause or impact of the destructive acts, and the company did not respond immediately to Reuters’ request for additional information.
BYD Co Ltd, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, is a publicly traded conglomerate that specializes in manufacturing, making it a prominent player in China’s robust automotive industry.
