â— JAC, Great Wall, and youth-built cars were approved
On November 7th, the Great Wall Auto Sedan project finally got approval from the National Development and Reform Commission's sedan catalog, and it got the long-awaited sedan license. Before that, Jianghuai Automobile had already taken the lead in qualifying for the production of cars.

The Chrysler brand, which has just re-entered the Chinese market, is struggling to get rid of the shadow of splitting, and this year it officially introduced the Dodge brand to the Chinese market.
â— Self-owned brands encounter "collision door"
After two years ago, after the encounter of the ADAC “Crash Gate†incident at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Brilliance Automotive and Chery Automobile were once again subjected to malicious attacks from foreign countries. In July, the European German car safety agency ADAC (All German Automotive Club) conducted a collision test on the mid-to-high-end models of Brilliance which were exported to the European market by Brilliance, and Zenith achieved only one star. Afterwards, Brilliance Automotive counterattacked and announced the results of the crash of an authoritative European organization at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Zenith gained Samsung's evaluation.
In June, an article published by autoreview (Automotive Observation), an authoritative automobile magazine of Russia, stated that after its organized crash test, Chery Cowin’s collision score was Russia's worst test score in the past three years and only scored 1.7 points. After investigation, Chery discovered that the collision experiment was conducted on the site of a Russian competitor and its authenticity was rather suspicious.
Brilliance and Chery were again hit by the “Collision Gate†incident this year, which shows that self-owned brand cars have caused foreign competitors to worry about their overseas markets, and they are deliberately demonizing the “Made in China†suspects. At the same time, it also sounded a warning bell to the independent brands, reminding us to further improve product quality and safety in order to better open up the international market.
â— Shanghai Auto Show, Guangzhou Auto Show unprecedented scale
From April 20th to April 28th, the 12th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition with the theme of “Perfect Harmony of People, Cars, and Nature†was held at the Pudong International Convention and Exhibition Center, attracting a total of 1300 from 21 countries and regions.

â— Independent brands in Russia meet resistance
In July this year, the Ministry of Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Russia stated that the signing period for the foreign automobile assembly project in Russia was extended to September 15. However, the Great Wall, ZTE, Lifan, and Beiqi manufactured by China None of the four projects was approved. Before this, the Russian government has rejected Geely’s assembly plan in Ekaterina. Subsequently, the Russian authorities also initiated a lawsuit against Chery's distributors in Russia and demanded that Chery’s policy preferences obtained in Kaliningrad be cancelled.
Russia has adopted an unprecedented strict policy on Chinese cars this year. On the surface, it is because Chinese cars have not brought new technology to Russia. In essence, it is because Chinese auto brands such as Chery and Great Wall have increased their sales in Russia and have threatened The survival of Russia’s local autos and the adoption of a measure of trade protectionism.
â— Korean car sales suffered a cold spell
Since this year, Korean cars represented by Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Yueda Kia have faced severe challenges in the domestic market, and sales have continued to decline. Beijing Hyundai Accent and Dongfeng Yueda Kia RIO have both sold poorly in new models. The sales volume is far lower than the manufacturer's expectations, while the sales of Elantra, Cerato and other major models have also declined, bringing the entire Korean cars to the bottom. . In the first 11 months of this year, Beijing Hyundai’s sales had a negative growth. Beijing Hyundai fell out of the top 10 sales rankings for the first time. Dongfeng Yueda Kia also failed to complete its sales tasks.
The downturn in Korean cars was due primarily to the continuing price cuts of mainstream brands such as Volkswagen, Toyota, and General Motors that gradually lost the advantages of low-price, high-profile Korean cars. The second reason is that Beijing Hyundai Motors and Dongfeng Yueda Kia have made mistakes in the pricing strategy of the new car and thus handed over the market to competitors.
