China is taking a page from America's playbook to stimulate it's slumping auto industry.
Forbes reports China will begin its own "Cash for Clunkers" program, offering up to $2,800 per vehicle to stimulate citizens to make a new car purchase.
Included in the plan are rural passenger vehicles that are six to 15 years old, along with old city buses and heavy trucks.
The news may be a boon for U.S. automakers Ford (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM), which have made efforts to expand their presence in China by offering deals and investing in factories.
