2004 Beijing International Automobile Summit was a complete success
The "2004 Beijing International Automobile Summit," which preceded the "Beijing International Automobile Exhibition," took place in Beijing on June 8th. Organized by the China Automobile Engineering Society, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the China Economic Times, and Japan's "Nikkei Business" magazine, the event was supported by several other organizations. This marked the first time the summit was held in China, following its previous editions in Tokyo, Japan.
The gathering attracted a wide range of participants, including top executives from major global automakers, industry policymakers, and representatives from over 300 international auto parts companies. Officials from key Chinese government agencies such as the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the China Banking Regulatory Commission also attended. Discussions centered on critical issues facing the Chinese automotive sector, including investment trends, financial strategies, and marketing models, with a focus on sustainable industry growth.
One of the main topics was the newly issued "Automobile Industry Policy," which was analyzed by officials from the State Council Development Research Center, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Commerce. The policy is expected to increase entry barriers, potentially cooling the current surge in auto investments and promoting the formation of larger enterprises. It also aims to make the Chinese market more open, facilitating foreign investment and mergers.
Domestic auto groups expressed their views on industry challenges. Wu Ande, deputy general manager of the First Automobile Group, emphasized the importance of partnership in sales. Xu Heyi of Beijing Automotive and Yin Jiaxu of Changan Auto debated whether the industry was overheating, with some calling for stronger regulation and greater focus on R&D for long-term competitiveness.
Multinational corporations showcased their strategies for the Chinese market. Nissan plans to triple its production capacity in China by 2007, while PSA Peugeot Citroën intends to launch 26 new models over the next three years. Information technology was also highlighted as a key driver for efficiency and global expansion in the automotive industry.
The summit also addressed the growing importance of the auto parts and related industries, with companies like Denso and Delphi advocating for stronger brand strategies and better preparation for the post-automotive economy. Experts emphasized the need for improved credit systems and pricing mechanisms in auto finance, despite existing challenges.
Overall, the summit provided a platform for dialogue among industry leaders, policymakers, and international stakeholders, shaping the future direction of the Chinese automotive sector.
