Three ministries issued the Guidelines on Overseas Competitive Behavior and
Compliance Building for the Auto Industry, saying firms may adopt cost-based
pricing guided by international market supply and demand and must lawfully
manage prices of components and whole vehicles without using pricing to gain
unfair competitive advantage or disrupt markets. When setting recommended retail
prices in overseas markets, firms should follow host-country laws, market
principles and commercial practices, establish clear price tiers by vehicle
configuration, and avoid frequent or large price swings that could harm overseas
consumers or brand image.
