Toyota Motor Corp. and Aeon Co., Japan’s largest auto and retail companies, are resuming operations in China after protests over a territorial dispute hurt sales and disrupted production for Japanese businesses.
Toyota said it expected to fully restart production today in China, where protesters torched auto showrooms and smashed Japanese-branded vehicles last week, spokesman Joichi Tachikawa said. Aeon has reopened all of its China stores except two and is assessing damage on one that was attacked, according to spokesman Tomohiro Itosaka.
