China's Auto Industry: Rapid Growth and Transformation
China's auto industry has experienced rapid growth and transformation in recent years, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Historically, the Chinese government sought foreign investment to boost its domestic manufacturers and attract foreign technology. Joint ventures between state-owned enterprises and foreign companies dominated the industry. However, recent developments have seen a rise in successful Chinese brands and head-to-head competition with foreign automakers.
