Germany's Saarland state would not block Chinese electric carmaker BYD as a possible investor for a Ford car plant seeking new ownership, the state premier said on Friday after reports of BYD's interest. "To be honest, Ford is an American company and we didn't like the decisions they made. "That there are situations and circumstances in China which we do not like from a human rights position is clear, and it is important we reiterate that. But we have also had a positive experience with Svolt," Rehlinger said, referring to a Chinese battery cell maker which has a plant in Saarland. "I do not discriminate by geography."
