Modify the "measures" to benefit only that high car

As it involves the adjustment of the production area, the dispute may go to the newly established Ministry of Industry and Information processing.

WTO expert Zhang Hanlin of the view that a dispute has not implemented the law is not necessary, do not be too concerned with WTO ruling on China. Approaches must modify, but there is no need to care too much about. He said changes to the production company must meet the 60% localization rate. In fact, even if the modification "measures", and only luxury car manufacturer to benefit most of the existing joint venture has increased localization rate, the public even more than 90%.



Long-term focus on the automobile industry, Zhou Jun said that China would lose the results of high-end parts made OEMs to reduce the enthusiasm, as currently only a few million-scale investment in luxury cars is building a larger package, and can really reduce the cost of such parts plant can not complete for other customers.

Because China does not have high-end independent parts spare parts business of technology, no matter what the outcome of this dispute will not impact on these companies, but Zhou army that will accelerate the industry reshuffle, parts industry structure will be more clear. Joint venture and its parts suppliers more closely, and independent brands such as engine parts enterprises to enter the EFI system, ESP, airbag areas such as high-end components will be more difficult.
