China Cars Background
China Cars and the China Car Industry have received much publicity from the media in the western world recently. With over 1.3 billion people, the China Cars market has tremendous potential. The China Car Industry has produced some astronomical growth rates driven primarily by the domestic Chinese passenger car sales.
China was once associated with an image of a country full of roaming bicycles. Today, millions of Chinese have purchased their first China Car and many more are ready to commit to that purchasing decision in the future. The Chinese love affair with the China Cars is evident in its unlimited speed highways. Chinese commercialism has evolved to the point where in China, you are what you wear and drive. As an emerging nation, the population in China is experiencing the personal freedom associated with owning a personal China automobile.

The Impact of a Growing China Cars Market
The growth of the China Cars market will have a profound effect on the rest of the world.
- Car sales from both domestic China Cars manufacturers and foreign imports will increase due to the millions of pent up demand.
- World car prices will likely decrease due to increase in economies of scale.
- Pollution from China Cars fossil fuel emissions will negatively impact the global environment.
- There will also be unprecedented local traffic jams in China's major cities; far worse than even what the western world has encountered.
China is about to take on the world in the foreign automobile market.
Wuhu Car Factories
- China Cars and China car parts are being built in the car factories in Wuhu, Anhui province. The Chinese products are typically of high quality but they are cheaper that the competition from the United States, Japan or Germany.
Changchun, the City of Cars
- The city of Changchun is famous for its cars.
- It is the location for China's largest automobile manufacturing company, FAW which began its operations in 1953 over half a century ago.
- The company had its beginnings in truck manufacturing but it has expanded to the
light-
duty truck and car sectors. - FAW began a partnership with Germany's Volkswagen in 1993 to create a state of the art production facility capable of producing more than 150,000 vehicles per year.
- FAW now operates a joint venture with Volkswagen to manufacture Volkswagen Jetta, Bora, Audi and Golf vehicles.
- It also began a joint venture with Toyota in 2002 to produce Toyota products in China and to transfer technology knowledge to the Chinese.
Foreign Car Manufacturers in China
- Foreign car manufacturers are battling it out in China today.
- General Motors is number two in market share behind FAW and Volkswagen in the China Cars industry.
- Foreigners are investing heavily in China with hopes of reaping the benefits of up to 20% of the Chinese population who can afford cars. Only time will tell how successful they will become.
China Takes on the World in Car Manufacturing
The Future of China Cars
Using car manufacturing as a measurement, China has already surpassed Korea, France
and Germany. Only the United States and Japan have a larger automobile output.
Foreign
companies manufacturing in China will not compete against themselves by exporting
their own cars overseas. However, as foreign investment continues, so too will the
technology transfer to the Chinese.
One thing is certain. Sooner or later China will learn enough to begin producing
their own cars for export overseas. Foreign car manufacturers are waiting nervously
for that invasion to occur. It's not a matter of "if" they come abroad; it's a matter
of "when".
China Car companies are already making inroads in Europe. Jiangling Motors'
sport utility vehicles began to market in Belgium in 2005 making the company the
first China Cars for sale in Europe.

China will first need to make sure
that their vehicles meet western safety standards. They will also need to overcome
the developed countries’ current perception that China Cars are of low quality.
