More than 2,000 people took part Wednesday in a procession to escort a relic of the Buddha lent by China to a shrine in the Thai capital Bangkok to honor the birthday of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and to celebrate half a century of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China.

In the Q&A, some of the few hundred managers peppered Uchida with questions about responsibility for the decline of a company that five years ago had the world's top EV model by lifetime sales.
