The 'Jeep Storm': a crisis in a China-US joint venture
Cherokees were assembled from CKD kits. The Chinese side was unable to clear customs because of insufficient foreign exchange, which halted production. The US side, AMC, threatened a "three stops, one withdrawal" and publicly questioned China's joint-venture environment. The central government intervened, and an agreement was eventually reached that accelerated localization. The dispute was resolved through negotiation.
