Abstract
Since it is impossible to discuss the diversity of Chinese economy and
draw the overall picture of Chinese auto industry, this paper will focus on
the character of China's car market, system of car manufacturing, and
outline of localization policies. Based on the field surveys, the paper will
compare and examine the differences in their localization strategies and
production systems between Shanghai-VW and Tianjin Daihatsu. By
doing so, we intend to establish a base for further research and survey on
the future Chinese auto industry.
