Despite unrest at a Honda factory in Gurgaon, the chief of Honda Motor says India carries fewer risks than China due to its relative political transparency and lack of anti-Japanese sentiment.

Honda Motor President Takeo Fukui also said China, for all of its economic growth, was just beginning to come of age as a hub to produce cars for export.

At least 130 people were injured as police clashed with striking workers at a Honda Group motorcycle factory in Gurgaon to protest the sacking of employees. ‘‘I acknowledge that India often has strikes but the strike has calmed down and the environment for talks with the union is almost ready,’’ Fukui said. — PTI
