The automobile industry is an important pillar industry of the national economy. After rapid development in recent years, export of automotive products has become an important component of China's automobile industry and an important carrier for transforming the growth mode of foreign trade. In response to the impact of the international financial crisis, in accordance with the general requirements of “guaranteing growth, expanding domestic demand, and adjusting the structure”, the auto industry restructuring and revitalization plan has been implemented to promote the sustained, healthy and stable development of China’s auto and component exports. The following opinions are now proposed:

I. Status Quo of Exports of Auto Products in China and the Situation Faced

After more than 50 years of development, the Chinese auto industry has basically established a relatively complete auto industry production system. Under the impetus of the reform and opening up policy, under the encouragement of a strong domestic market, through the joint efforts of the automotive industry, it has achieved rapid development. At present, China has become the second largest producer of automobiles in the world. In recent years, China’s auto and auto parts exports have also shown rapid development. The average annual growth rate from 2001 to 2007 was nearly 50%. In 2008, auto product exports reached US$30.2 billion. However, on the whole, China's auto and auto parts exports still have a big gap compared with developed countries and newly industrialized countries (regions). Currently, it is still in its infancy. Excessive export operations, lack of brand and marketing networks, and inability to independently innovate Problems such as the low added value of export products and the urgent need to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights have restricted the development of automotive product exports. Since the second half of 2008, due to the impact of the financial crisis, the problems existing in the export of automobile products in China have become more prominent, and exports have fallen sharply. The export of automobile products in China is facing a severe situation.

At the same time, it should also be noted that the international comparative advantage of China’s automotive products still exists, and there is great potential in the international market. In order to actively respond to the financial crisis, effective and effective measures must be taken to promote the sustained and healthy development of China's auto and auto parts exports.

Second, guiding ideology and development goals

(a) The guiding ideology. In accordance with the overall requirements of the "Auto Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan", we must fully implement the scientific concept of development, vigorously implement the export strategy of automotive products, expand the export of auto products with independent intellectual property rights and independent brands, enhance the ability of independent innovation of enterprises, and increase the intensity of structural adjustment. We will accelerate the transformation of foreign trade export growth methods, increase the efficiency and quality of export growth, and promote the sustained and healthy development of China's auto product exports.

(b) Development goals. Automobiles and parts exports will strive to achieve an average annual growth of 10% from 2009 to 2011; by 2015, automobile and parts exports will reach 85 billion U.S. dollars, with an average annual growth rate of 20%; and by 2020 China will achieve auto and component exports. The strategic goal of 10% of the world's total trade in automotive products.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year” period and the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, we continued to consolidate the low-end market for finished vehicles in traditional developing countries, expand the foreign market for auto parts and components and the high-end market in developing countries, and steadily entered the vehicle industry in developed countries. The low-end market. Efforts will be made to cultivate multinational automotive and component enterprise groups with strong technological innovation capabilities and independent core technologies in China. Strongly support the export of self-branded automotive products.

To this end, we must focus on promoting the five transitions in the export structure of automotive products:
