The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said FAW and GAC’s strategic
tie-up highlights practical obstacles to cross‑regional consolidation — notably
transfer of capacity quotas, tax‑sharing arrangements and lengthy approval
chains — which to some extent constrain industrial concentration and high‑end
development. CAAM said it will act as a bridge between government and firms to
collect integration difficulties and urged relevant parties to完善 supporting
policies on capacity replacement, tax sharing, asset disposal and personnel
placement to remove barriers to market‑based consolidation. It also called for
stronger operational monitoring and industry self‑discipline, wider promotion of
successful resource‑integration cases, and guidance for rational development,
orderly competition and collaborative innovation to speed up high‑quality growth
of China’s intelligent connected NEV sector and the push to become a world
automotive power.
