MOFCOM’s Department of International Cooperation outlined the Guidelines on
Overseas Competitive Conduct and Compliance Construction in the Automobile
Industry, a four‑chapter, 20‑article reference for Chinese auto firms operating
abroad. The non‑binding guidance targets overseas marketing and competitiveness
behavior and sets compliance focus areas including overseas production safety,
quality management, labor protections and data security. MOFCOM said it will
work with other departments to continue improving an overseas comprehensive
service system to better guide reasonable, orderly cross‑border layout by the auto
industry.
