Panel: Beyond buying cars: Is China building a new auto economy?

China has launched a 40-city pilot program and introduced 17 policy measures to expand the auto market. By removing unreasonable purchase restrictions and boosting the auto aftermarket, China aims to stimulate growth across the entire automotive value chain. What exactly is included in this “full-chain” approach to auto sales? Will we see an auto aftermarket boom here in China? What new opportunities could be unleashed for consumers, businesses, and the broader economy?
