Zhang Jian: China's spare parts market is a highly open market

Zhang Hao: Thank you, the host. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I am very pleased to participate in the China International Auto Parts Expo Summit Forum. While the current global economy is gradually recovering, the Chinese auto market is booming in both production and sales, and exports are beginning to show recoverable growth, we will explore the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry and sustainable development, and promote the Chinese and foreign automotive industries. It is of great significance to develop together and achieve mutual benefit and common prosperity. Taking this opportunity to be entrusted by the Ministry of Commerce, on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the 14 organizers and 14 sponsors who carefully organized this forum. The Bosch Corporation, Ford Motor Co., and the American Automotive Industry Corporation who attended the conference, welcomed the arrival of ten speakers and all guests. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the relevant departments that support the development of the Expo in recent years, Chinese and foreign institutions, enterprises and friends!

The automobile industry is one of the industries with the highest degree of correlation in the globalization degree of the world and other industries. Automobiles and auto parts have a strong two-way symbiotic relationship. The competition of future automobile products will be more reflected. The competition between the supply chain and the supply chain, not the competition between individual companies. With the deepening of economic globalization and market integration today, how to maximize the adoption of resources and the allocation of production factors, through the continuous reduction of costs, close to the market, and the establishment of a good supply chain system, will be the automotive companies to maintain vitality and continuously improve their competitiveness. The key factor. Taking the road of mutual benefit and common development and the internationalization of harmonious development is the only way for China’s auto industry to achieve sustainable development.

Next, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss my five preliminary views on the development of the Chinese auto industry for your reference.

First, China’s auto and parts and components market is a highly open market. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China has consistently adhered to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world, and the Chinese government departments have constantly adapted to new situations and new requirements, constantly reforming and adjusting relevant laws and regulations. And policies, continue to increase the external openness of the automotive industry, creating a good external environment for domestic and foreign companies. Since joining the WTO, the Chinese government has conscientiously fulfilled its commitments, shouldered its due obligations, continued to open up the market, and continuously improved the relevant laws and regulations, creating conditions for the global deployment of production factors such as talent, technology, goods, capital, and management. At the same time, we continued to reduce tariffs. In 2005, we honored our commitments, ended the 20-year import quota license, adjusted relevant industrial policies that are inconsistent with the WTO rules, implemented automobile brand sales management methods, and further implemented foreign-funded enterprises. The service trade was opened, the status of national treatment of foreign-funded enterprises was clearly defined, the protection of intellectual property rights was vigorously promoted, and the automobile emission standards were strictly enforced. This created a favorable policy environment and institutional guarantee for the mutually beneficial cooperation between the Chinese and foreign automotive industry circles. The continuous advancement of the above-mentioned work has not only created conditions for the development of the Chinese auto industry itself, but has also benefited from it. It has also created favorable conditions for the development of auto companies in various countries, especially some multinational corporations in China.

Second, China’s auto and parts and components market is a market that continues to grow rapidly. Under the continuous promotion of the reform and opening up system, under the encouragement of a strong domestic market, through the joint efforts of the automotive industry, rapid development has been achieved. In 2005, China’s auto production has increased from 2.06 million vehicles to 13.79 million vehicles last year, with an average annual growth rate of 21%. Especially in the past two years, under the severe impact of the financial crisis in the world auto industry, the international automobile market has shrunk dramatically, and the Chinese auto industry and market are thriving. In 2009, China's automobile production and sales volume increased by 48.3% and 46.2%, respectively, becoming the world's largest automotive producer and the largest consumer market for new automobiles, and it has made positive contributions to the development of the automotive industry. From January to August of this year, China accumulatively produced and sold 11.49 million cars and 11.58 million cars, with production and sales increasing by 39.3% and 35% respectively. It is expected that more than 16 million cars will be produced and sold this year. At present, the number of cars in China is about 40 million. The car ownership per 10 people is still not as high as 1925 in the United States. The development potential of the automotive market is huge, and the momentum of rapid development will continue in the 12th Five-Year Period. Driven by the development of the automotive industry, China’s auto parts and components trade has also seen rapid development in recent years. Since the accession to the WTO in 2001, and before the financial crisis in 2008, China’s auto exports have increased by 35 times. The growth rate reached 77%, which is 5.6 times the growth rate of the world's auto trade during the same period, and 2.8 times that of China's foreign trade export. The export market for automotive products has covered 210 countries and regions, and the export product structure has been continuously improved, basically covering All models, trade methods began to diversify and diversify.

Third, China’s auto and parts and components market is a mutually beneficial market. Through joint ventures and cooperation, foreign capital, technology and management experience have been introduced. The structure of domestic auto products, manufacturing capacity and management have gradually increased, and the scale of exports has grown rapidly. On the whole, the rapidly developing Chinese auto and parts and components market provides domestic and foreign auto companies with an excellent competitive arena and relatively lucrative returns on profits. From the perspective of market share, the proportion of foreign-invested corporate brands in China’s sedan market has reached 70%, which accounted for more than 60% of the parts and components of the major domestic car joint ventures, was also a key provider of key components and components for domestic commercial vehicle companies. Judging from the return on investment, the profitability of major multinational companies and parts and components companies in China is far higher than that of China's. In particular, given the financial crisis has had a severe impact on the manufacturing of the global auto industry, the Chinese auto market continues to be faster. Development has made positive contributions to major multinational companies in weathering difficulties and achieving stable development.

Fourthly, China’s auto and parts and components market is a fully competitive market. Currently, China’s auto and parts and components markets are highly competitive and increasingly fierce. Multinational companies investing in China have increased their investment in China, and investment areas have also From production to research and development, sales, logistics, finance, upstream raw material production and other fields. At the same time, as the automotive industry's requirements for energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection continue to increase, the Chinese government is gradually raising relevant standards, improving relevant regulations, encouraging auto and parts and components companies to increase investment in R&D, and raising the level of innovation to adapt as quickly as possible. New requirements.

Fifth, we must create a good external environment, increase the protection of intellectual property rights, promote independent innovation of enterprises, accelerate structural adjustment, and strive to achieve sustainable development of China's auto industry. Although the Chinese auto industry has made considerable progress, it still has a long way to go compared with the developed countries' auto industry. Including the product structure is not reasonable, R & D investment is insufficient, innovation capacity is not enough, parts and exports are mainly concentrated in the post-market and other issues, of course, these issues for our current development stage, more likely to still be characteristics. Our change has a gradual process, but at the same time, we also believe that the gap between us and the developed countries’ automotive industry and their technological level is also our potential. This gap is also a kind of complementarity. Concrete embodiment. Therefore, China’s auto industry has strong complementarity both in developed and developing countries, and this complementarity is stable, structural, and long-term. This has provided favorable conditions for the extensive cooperation between China and the automotive industry companies in the world. In order to increase the structural adjustment of the automobile industry and raise the level of international competition in the automotive industry, the State Council of the People's Republic of China has issued a plan for the adjustment and revitalization of the automobile industry. According to requirements, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have issued six parts to promote the continued export of automotive products in China. The opinions of healthy development formulate the guiding ideology and development goals for the development of China's automobile exports in the medium and long term.

We believe that China's auto product exports will achieve an average annual growth rate of more than 10% from 2009 to 2010, and the total export value will reach 85 billion U.S. dollars by 2015. This includes vehicles and parts and the average growth rate will exceed 20%, by 2020, achieve the strategic goal of total export volume accounting for more than 10% of the total world auto product trade. At the same time, efforts should be made to promote the export of automotive products, achieve a substantial transformation in the five aspects of export product structure, export market structure, export trade structure, and after-sales service thematic structure, promote the transformation of foreign trade export methods, and improve the quality and efficiency of export growth. , To achieve sustained and healthy development of China's automotive product exports. While export growth, we also believe that the import of Chinese automotive products, especially the entire vehicle, will also show a sustained and rapid growth rate. We can see from January to August that this rate is quite high. Double the export increase.

Ladies and gentlemen, the automotive industry is one of the industries with the highest degree of globalization. It is necessary to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and communism in a fair competitive environment. The relevant departments of the Chinese government will further improve relevant laws and regulations and strictly follow the rules. In order to further promote trade facilitation and create a fair, just, standardized and transparent competitive environment for enterprises, we believe that through joint efforts, the Chinese auto market will definitely provide more business opportunities for auto companies of all countries, and the strength of the Chinese auto industry will also Constantly improve and make positive contributions to the development of the global automotive industry. Thank you!
