The Industry Association said China possesses the world’s most complete new-energy vehicle (NEV) supply chain—from lithium processing and battery manufacturing to motor/electronic control and vehicle assembly—capacity is ample, costs are controllable and the supply chain has strong risk resilience. Deputy secretary-general Chen Shihua said Chinese in‑vehicle systems, intelligent driving and cabin interaction are adapting to overseas user needs; rapid local iteration of smart features has become a core competitive edge against legacy foreign automakers’ intelligence shortcomings. January–May auto exports totaled 4.059 million vehicles, up 63% YoY; NEV exports were 1.833 million, accounting for over 45% of total auto exports.
