Yu Wenjun said that the auto group has 33 member companies. We care very much about the image and quality of our products and also through various channels.

How big is the financial crisis?
Component exports are divided into matching and aftermarket markets. The total demand for the former is declining. The decrease in demand for the aftermarket is much smaller than that of the matching market.
At the seminar and seminar held during the same period of the show, industry experts believed that the demand for the US aftermarket in the first half of the year still maintained a growth rate of around 5%, largely because many people saved expenses by not buying new cars and repairing old cars. While more European and American consumers may be willing to choose more competitive Chinese products during this period, this may mean more opportunities for Chinese companies. In short, for most Chinese domestic parts and components companies, the total demand in the international market will decline due to the financial crisis and it will be less than the impact of rapid appreciation of the renminbi on exports. The procurement cycle in the supporting market is often as long as 1-2 years, and the procurement cycle in the aftermarket is at least half a year. Therefore, the actual supply may be half a year or even two years later.
After analyzing the export of a large number of electromechanical products, Lu Luxun, head of the National Electromechanical Products Import and Export Office of the Ministry of Commerce, stated that the impact of the financial crisis on China's auto parts companies was a structural one. Some enterprises with independent brands, strong core competitiveness, and long industrial chains have a relatively small impact on exports. In addition, the export of auto parts to overseas aftermarket has maintained growth in recent months.
Therefore, these dynamics of buyers and suppliers at the end of the year can be seen as a barometer of the development of the Chinese automotive market in 2009.
