  At present, the development of China's automobile industry is still in the "big but not strong" stage, and the new energy automobile industry cluster has not yet formed; the coordination of technology and resources among various enterprises needs to be improved; the entry of foreign-branded vehicles into China has accelerated the competition of the industry; Development still has many problems in terms of use, after-sales, acceptance, etc .; the development of the auto parts industry chain is not mature enough.
