中国40年来不断扩大开放汽车市场 - 2018年12月21日
Sino-foreign vehicle ventures are still expanding – for now
China’s decision this year to open its car market wider to foreign automakers continues 40 years of progress in first developing a vehicle industry and then allowing joint ventures with overseas manufacturers.
In 1985, Germany’s Volkswagen was among the first to enter the Chinese market, establishing a joint venture with Shanghai-based SAIC to produce the Santana model. In 1998, US-based General Motors started local production in China and its first Buick sedan rolled off from the production line.
As private auto ownership grew in China, so, too, did the auto industry. China is now the world’s largest vehicle market, with a dazzling array of makes and models vying for consumer attention.
