AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/08 Report--

Dong Mingzhu, who has always dared to be angry and outspoken, recently, a remark in the public program quickly destabilized the entire automobile industry, as if to express the aspirations of many people, but also caused the dissatisfaction of many car company bosses.

On CCTV's "Dialogue" program, 65-year-old Dong Mingzhu expressed his views on Chinese cars, saying bluntly that he was dissatisfied with China's auto industry and that Chinese cars were a bit "shoddy."

Dong Mingzhu cited Chinese cars as an example when talking about the issue of "Chinese moulds". 'i am not satisfied with China's automobile industry, 'she said.' it is reflected in the fact that the precision of the model is not enough, and there is a gap in running-in and coordination, 'she said.' you will see that Chinese cars are a little poorly made, but the cost has not actually been reduced much.

In response to this problem, many netizens stood on Dong Mingzhu's side, and a "big truth" liked her, as if her remarks spoke the hearts of many people. China is the world's largest automobile market and has continuously become the largest country in production and sales in the world. Independent brands have not only made great progress in the past decade, but even foreign car companies want to swallow this fertile market. Scramble to achieve domestic joint ventures and sales growth in China. Since sales are so huge, is the car manufacturing so unsuccessful?

In view of Dong Mingzhu's "shoddy production", the boss of independent car companies must not be able to sit still.

On March 5, Zhu Yanfeng, chairman and party secretary of Dongfeng Motor Company, responded directly, "I don't have electric appliances anyway. I can't say electrical appliances." But I say responsibly that the level of automobile manufacturing in China is the highest in the world. "

Although China's automobile industry has changed a lot under the prospect of globalization and huge market, it is worth considering to say that "the first level in the world".

Wei Jianjun, chairman of Great Wall, who has a low-key style and has been rarely seen in public, also responded a few days ago, saying: "I don't agree with Dong Mingzhu's point of view. I have my own different views." "the manufacturing level of China's automobile industry is already in the leading position in the world," he said. "

Wei Jianjun, who has been working in the automobile industry for many years, thinks Dong Mingzhu is still too "young". "I noticed that Dong Mingzhu started building cars some time ago, but she should be in awe of cars and learn more about the whole industry before making a judgment," she said. "

Wei Jianjun said: through the development of reform and opening up over the past few decades, we have seen great progress in independent brands. Objectively speaking, whether in manufacturing or system research and development and other aspects, many brands are in the global leading level.

Compared with Zhu Yanfeng's remarks, Wei Jianjun's words are relatively acceptable, while Dong Mingzhu's remarks are really directed at the pain point of Chinese car manufacturing. But also according to the situation, even independent brands are divided into the first echelon, the second echelon and more. The rise of independent car companies such as Geely, Great Wall, Guangzhou Automobile and SAIC has gradually maintained the 10-15 price range, and has plans to impact overseas markets, which is certainly impossible without a little bit of strength; and due to cost and other factors, the manufacturing standards of relatively low-end brands are definitely worse.

In terms of joint venture brands, China also has world-class factories, such as brilliance BMW's Tiexi factory in Shenyang, or a national AAAA tourist scenic spot; GAC-Toyota production line has also won Toyota's highest quality evaluation and the title of global model factory.

However, the competitiveness of the Chinese market is fierce, domestic foreign brands, more or less will give people a sense of reduction. For example, in the safety test, the same model in the case of the same standard, foreign crash test results often get the highest safety evaluation, while there is a gap between cars produced in China.

On the whole, China's automobile industry plays an important role in the world, but if you take a closer look at car manufacturing, "shoddy manufacturing" may be a big truth.
