The Chinese auto market is one of the fastest growing markets in the world, so it is very important that all automakers pay close attention to the trends in China and fight to offer what one of the largest countries in the world wants.

Mr Rao Da, Secretary-General of National Passenger Car Information Exchange Association, suggested that car price inflection points may appear this year or the next.
