What could a Chery-Nissan partnership in the UK mean for the global auto industry?
from Chat Lounge
A Chinese carmaker. A Japanese factory. A British production line. Could this be the future of the global auto industry? As Chery considers building vehicles at Nissan's Sunderland plant, we examine whether this is simply a business deal or a sign of a new phase in China's automotive globalization? Why are Chinese carmakers shifting from exporting vehicles to building overseas production networks? How likely is this partnership to move beyond an MoU? And amid political, regulatory, and market uncertainties, could this become a blueprint for China's global expansion or a cautionary tale? Host Tu Yun joins John Gong, Professor of Economics, University of International Business and Economics, Mike Bastin, a China observer and Senior Lecturer, the University of Southampton, and Hans-Peter Burghof, the Chair of the Banking and Finance Department, University of Hohenheim for a close look.
