    On the same day (January 11, Beijing time), in China across the ocean, the 2021 (third) Haikou International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Automobile Exhibition concluded successfully.

    For more than a hundred years, because of the North American Auto Show, early January of each year has been the “Detroit Time” of the automotive industry; in the past ten years, as the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has gradually improved, this time has become "The highlight of Las Vegas"... But in early January 2021, most of the auto industry turned their attention to China's Haikou.

    As the first grand event in the automotive industry held in the beginning of the year, the Haikou International Auto Show “high-specification showcases the advanced technology and development results of global new energy and intelligent networked vehicles, and not only provides domestic and foreign auto companies and related industries with observation industry development trends, A key platform to open up market opportunities, and at the same time build an important bridge for the audience to experience the future travel mode", the organizer said.

    More than that, Hainan is now ushering in a new energy vehicle development boom, and the policy "warm wind" has heated the development of the local new energy vehicle industry.

    The 16th Beijing International Automobile Exhibition

     In the context of the global economy being hit by the epidemic, the automobile industry chain and supply chain have been hit hard, and international auto shows such as Detroit, Geneva, and Paris have been cancelled. The successful holding of the Haikou International New Energy Auto Show has revealed too much to the outside world. Too much important economic, industry and market information... Prior to this, the 16th Beijing International Automobile Exhibition and the 18th Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition had been successfully held at the end of September and mid-November last year.

    The 18th Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition

    The Beijing Auto Show is the world's only top international auto show in 2020, and the Guangzhou Auto Show is regarded as the final stop of the domestic A-class auto show. Both are "show grounds" that no car company can ignore. In order to seize the key platform and window of opportunity for publicity and momentum, well-known domestic and foreign automobile companies exhibited with full brands and high specifications, and sincerely exhibited a variety of blockbuster models.

    From Beijing, to Guangzhou, and then to Haikou, in less than four months, three consecutive high-profile international auto shows with a faster and faster pace have not only attracted attention from inside and outside the auto industry, but also China and even China. The recovery of the global auto industry continues to inject confidence and hope.

    In response to the impact of the epidemic, China’s auto industry insists on promoting the resumption of work and production under normalized prevention and control, giving full play to the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market, and gradually forming a new development pattern with domestic and international cycles as the main body and mutual promotion of domestic and international cycles. Constantly open up new situations in the changing situation. "China is the world's earliest and fastest recovering auto market. Since bottoming out in March, it has formed a'V-shaped' rebound trend." In an interview with the Economic Daily-China Economic Net, Wang Xia, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Automobile Industry Committee and chairman of the China Chamber of International Commerce Automobile Industry Chamber of Commerce, said bluntly, "(The holding of the auto show) is for launching the domestic market and stimulating market vitality. Creating a sales atmosphere, especially in the second half of the year, has a huge boost to sales, and will further promote the recovery of the auto market in the coming months and even next year."

    According to data released by the China Automobile Association yesterday, in 2020, the cumulative production and sales of automobiles were 25.225 million and 25.311 million, down 2% and 1.9% year-on-year, respectively. The decline was 5.5 and 6.3 percentage points smaller than the previous year. Among them, the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles was 1.367 million, a year-on-year increase of 10.9%. Obviously, as the domestic epidemic prevention and control enters "normalization", the Chinese auto market is accelerating its recovery.

    Such a beautiful report card not only shows the huge potential of China's auto market, but also reflects the strong resilience of China's auto industry in the battle against epidemic prevention and control and the defense of economic development. As a pillar industry of China's economy, China's automobile industry has quickly established a relatively complete industrial system in the 40 years of reform and opening up. According to statistics, there are more than 100,000 parts and components companies in China, basically covering 1,500 parts. In addition, according to the "2019 Global Top 100 Parts List" selected by Auto News, "The number of Chinese parts companies has increased again, with a total of 7 Chinese companies on the list." It is precisely based on the integrity and tenacity of the domestic automobile manufacturing industry that the auto market has the ability to achieve rapid recovery, and the industry has the confidence and ability to hold multiple international auto shows in a short period of time. From Beijing, to Guangzhou, to Haikou... Let us continue to look forward to the Shanghai International Auto Show in April.
