Ministry of Commerce: Chinese cars are popular around the world, not through low-price dumping

　　China News Service, February 29. According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce, in response to reports that the U.S. Manufacturing Alliance urged the U.S. government to take measures to prevent the import of low-priced Chinese cars from Mexico, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong said on the 29th that Chinese cars are the most important player in the world. The popularity lies not in low-price dumping, but in technological innovation and excellent quality formed in fierce market competition.

　　The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference on the 29th.

A reporter asked a question at the meeting: According to reports, the American Manufacturing Alliance urged the U.S. government to take measures to prevent the import of low-priced Chinese cars from Mexico, which the organization said may threaten the survival of U.S. auto companies.

What is the Ministry of Commerce's response to this?

　　"First of all, I want to point out that Chinese cars are widely popular around the world not because of low-price dumping, but because of technological innovation and excellent quality formed in fierce market competition." He Yadong said.

　　He Yadong pointed out that in recent years, the United States has set up numerous obstacles, including imposing tariffs, restricting participation in government procurement, and adopting discriminatory subsidy policies, which have seriously hindered Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market.

In sharp contrast, China has always opened its door to global automobile companies.

U.S. auto companies are fully enjoying the dividends of China's large market.

In fact, the sales of American brand cars in China far exceed the sales of Chinese brand cars in the United States.

　　He said that the United States promotes trade protectionism, politicizes economic and trade issues, and builds higher trade barriers, hindering fair competition and, in the long run, hindering the development of the U.S. auto industry itself.

It is hoped that the United States will respect the laws of market economy and the principle of fair competition, correct non-market policies and practices, and create conditions for fair competition and long-term development of the automobile industry.
