html November 26th news, at the 9th Global Chinese Automobile Elites Joint Annual Meeting and the "China Embrace the World" Automobile Industry Innovation Forum, Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Industry Association, said that China's automobile exports are increasing at an extremely exaggerated rate. Before 2021, my country's automobile export volume will be only about 1 million vehicles, and it will only reach 2 million vehicles in 2021, and it is expected to reach 3 million vehicles in 2022.
China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has long been the world's largest automobile market. After the arrival of the new energy vehicle era, China has become the country or region with the highest sales of electric vehicle in the world. There is no doubt that China is now a holy place in the minds of global car companies.

In addition to the huge consumption potential, compared with other countries, China has another major advantage, which is its complete infrastructure and higher production efficiency. Needless to say, the name of "infrastructure maniac" is very convenient in China for transportation of various raw materials. Secondly, China is also more efficient than other countries.
Take Tesla as an example. It invested in the construction of a super factory in Berlin in November 2019. It was originally planned to be put into production in June 2021, but it was not officially put into production until March this year. Let’s take a look at the Shanghai Super Factory. It was built in January 2019, obtained production qualifications in October, and officially put into production at the end of the year. The efficiency gap can be seen.
Because of this, countless overseas car companies have established joint ventures or wholly-owned in China, producing cars locally and exporting them overseas. When production capacity is insufficient, Tesla's Shanghai Super Factory exported a large number of cars overseas, avoiding the embarrassment of being unable to deliver orders to consumers for a long time.
In addition to the exports of overseas car companies, the rise of domestic car companies and gradually entering the overseas market is also the reason for the surge in China's automobile exports. Car companies such as Wei Xiaoli, , BYD and have entered the European market, and their products are priced comparable to BBA. Chery , Geely , Changan also has a large number of models exported overseas, among which Chery 148,000 cars were exported in the first half of this year.

However, Chen Shihua said that he should not be too optimistic about domestic automobile exports. He believes that China's automobile exports are getting bigger and bigger, and foreign countries are likely to take some measures to restrict automobile imports. Just like China originally asked overseas auto companies and domestic auto companies to jointly establish a joint venture in order to protect the domestic auto industry.
In addition, there is still chip shortage in the automotive industry and the price increase of raw materials, which may affect the subsequent development of the automotive industry. Therefore, there are still many difficulties and variables in the development of my country's automobile industry. Speaking of which, the popularity of new energy vehicles is the biggest variable in the automotive industry in recent years. It is precisely with the help of new energy vehicles' Dongfeng that the domestic automotive industry can develop.
Nowadays, BYD, Geely, Changan, Great Wall, Chery and other car companies are developing rapidly. Faced with the possible dangers, they can only do their best and plan for the best and worst. Fortunately, the Chinese market is big enough that even if it encounters setbacks in the overseas market in the future, it can return to the domestic market to develop with peace of mind.
