Are Chinese automakers ready for world stage?

In 2009, we saw China surpass the United States as the largest automobile market in the world. It has also overtaken Japan as the world’s largest automobile producer. These achievements seem even more incredible when we consider that less than 3% of Chinese citizens own their vehicle. This phenomenal growth, from 30,000 passenger cars to 8.3 million per year, is accelerating even more. China is also busy building expressways to accommodate all these vehicles. From 2001 to 2005 over 15,000 miles were added which by now has reached over 25,000 miles. Total expressway miles in China will surpass 46,000 miles in the United States within the next decade.

Why General Tire is a P.R. Disaster

Uncle Ben told Peter Parker that son, ’with great power comes great responsibility’. Similarly, Our President also told his son, ‘with great power comes absolutely no responsibility’.
