Editor's note: Following Geely, Wanxiang, Delong, Lifan and other companies are trying to expand their boundaries in the automotive vehicle manufacturing industry. Private capital is becoming the third largest investment force outside state-owned capital and foreign capital.
In 2001, after the policy of the auto industry was relaxed, private capital began to enter on a large scale. In 2003, the automotive industry achieved a total profit of 75.5 billion yuan. Among them, 3663 private enterprises realized profits of 11.123 billion yuan, accounting for 14.7%, which is equivalent to the profits of 882 state-owned enterprises and only 1/5 of the profits of 915 foreign-funded enterprises.
Because there are still industry and policy barriers, private enterprises are currently mainly distributed in non-key automotive parts with low value-added products and a small part of vehicle manufacturing. However, they are expanding their boundaries through various means:

——From the production of auto parts to the manufacture of complete vehicles. Wanxiang Group, the largest private auto parts manufacturer in China, has produced prototypes for electric cars and electric cargoes through nearly three years of preparation.
——From motorcycle manufacturing to automobile manufacturing. In 1998, Geely, a motorcycle manufacturer in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, launched its own Geely car without a "salary permit" for cars. After three years, Geely Automobile finally appeared in the sixth batch of product announcements of the Economic and Trade Commission and became a sign that “the auto industry is open to private enterprisesâ€. At present, Chongqing Lifan's car production base is stepping up its construction and its goal is to target economy cars under 100,000 yuan.

Acquire shell resources made by the vehicle. More and more privately-owned enterprises have acquired vehicle manufacturing platforms and market access permits through the acquisition of vehicle manufacturers, and have reduced the risk of entering this field. Zhejiang Wanfeng Auto Group, the largest steam turbine manufacturer in China, passed the acquisition of a Shanghai bus company in 2000. Shanghai Wanfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. was established to enter the field of pickups and vans. In 2003, Wanfeng Motor launched its own business. With a car, try to enter the broader passenger car market. Ningbo Huaxiang Group, which occupies 80% of the domestic auto interior decoration market, acquired Hebei Zhongxing Automobile and acquired the independent intellectual property rights of pickup trucks, complete automotive process design, and sales service network of more than 120 specialty stores. US Zhejiang General Motors' China OEM supplier Zhejiang Zhongyu Group, together with Dongfeng Automobile, acquired Wuhan Wantong Automobile Co., Ltd., and will collect the entire vehicle production catalog, equipment and brand of Vantone Automotive with South Korea's modern background.
