Motorola set to resume China smartphone sales

Motorola Mobility LLC will resume selling smartphones in China next year, the most significant new initiative that the company has announced since being acquired by Beijing-based electronics giant Lenovo Group Ltd earlier this year.

The former Google Inc subsidiary also plans a major offensive in other emerging mobile markets, the company said on Monday.

Rick Osterloh, president and chief operating officer of Motorola Mobility, said Lenovo's channel and supply chain resources will help it grow market share in China.
