Japanese automaker Honda Motor reported a 3.3 percent decrease in its November sales in China over the same month last year to 58,228 units.

Its joint venture Guangzhou Honda sold 33,368 vehicles, a 9.4 percent slump from a year ago. Dongfeng Honda delivered 24,860 units, an increase of 6.3 percent.

Except for August, Honda's monthly sales since February fell short of the same periods in 2010. Its second-quarter sales dropped 30 percent year on year due to the earthquake and tsunami in March.
