As China in the late 1970s opened its market to the West, American Motors began to trade cars in this large domestic market. To take advantage of the low labor costs in China, American Motors was looking for a Chinese partner and found this with Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corporation.
Following the acquisition of American Motors by Chrysler in 1987 more models were added.
In Beijing in 2005 a factory was opened, 25,000 vehicles of the Mercedes E-Class and the Mercedes C-Class and Chrysler 300c and Chrysler Sebring to be built in a year.
