Infiniti, the luxury car unit of Nissan Motor Co Ltd, plans to regain momentum in the Chinese market after a territorial dispute between China and Japan last year made it a difficult time.

"We can expect to see Infiniti resume its growth trend (in China) this year, probably resulting in double-digit growth," Johan de Nysschen, president of Infiniti Motor Co, said in a recent interview in Beijing.

"Our top priority is to establish China as a second volume hub for the brand," he said. "We cannot be a global player unless we have a strong presence in China."
