REUTERS/Joshua Lott BEIJING - Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery, the surprise bidder for General Motors Corp’s Hummer brand, said on Sunday the deal should be concluded in the coming quarter. Little-known Tengzhong, which emerged earlier this month as a candidate to acquire the Hummer brand from bankrupt GM, also said it has no plans to transfer Hummer equipment and technology to China from the United States, or to take on any debt accrued by the business. "We think a deal should be completed by the third quarter," Yang Yi, the firm’s general manager, told Reuters in an interview. Yang, whose company is unknown to most Chinese even in its own backyard in southwestern Sichuan Province, has little experience dealing with media and was almost apologetic about not providing more details about the deal. "I hope you can understand, but there are many things I cannot talk about," he said. 我要收藏 One confidential aspect was the Hummer price-tag, although analysts say it would be much less than the $500 million GM was asking for last year. The executive did say that Tengzhong, a manufacturer of special-use vehicles as well as bridge and highway components, planned to retain the Hummer management team to ensure quality in the off-road vehicle and to keep its small but enthusiastic fan base happy.

  • CHINA's AUTOMOBILE Industry: DEVELOPMENT, POLICIES
    AGNIESZKA McCALEB CHINA’S automobile INDUSTRy: DEVELOPMENT, POLICIES, internationalization China auto industry in only less than fifty years became the world’s biggest and currently has the highest growth potential (23 million vehicles sold in 2014)1. The sector recorded impressive growth considering that between 1950s and 1980s man- ufacturing focused on military and commercial vehicles and at the end of the 1990s production did not even reach one million vehicles2. In 2010, China overtook the United States as the largest market for new cars3. The automotive market in China is dominated by foreign car producers. Chinese authorities however have an ambitious goal of creating internationally strong do- mestic car manufacturers. Some of them already made it to the Fortune Global 500 2012 such as Dongfeng Motor, Shanghai Automotive (SAIC), China FAW Group, Zhejiang Geely. In addition, they aim at leapfrogging developed countries by de- veloping new energy vehicles. Both goals are reflected in recent policies that are discussed in this paper. In spite of the impressive growth of car industry in China the country’s cars are mainly sold domestically which makes it lag behind the world’s top car producers. The aim of the article is to discuss the development of automotive industry in China, recent policies formulated by the Chinese government that shape China’s domestic automotive market. Finally, the article analyses internationalization of Chinese firms from the automotive sector. 1 China’s car sales growth halves in 2014, BBC (2015), http://www.bbc.com/news/busi- ness-30775309 (accessed: 14.08.2015). 2 A.

  • The Rise of China's Auto Industry and Its Impact on the U.S. Motor Vehicle
    The Rise of China’s Auto Industry and Its Impact on the U.S. Motor Vehicle Industry Rachel Tang Analyst in Industrial Organization and Business November 16, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40924 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Rise of China’s Auto Industry and Its Impact on the U.S. Motor Vehicle Industry Summary The automobile industry, a key sector in China’s industrialization and modernization efforts, has been developing rapidly since the 1990s. In recent years, China has become the world’s fastest growing automotive producer. Annual vehicle output has increased from less than 2 million vehicles in the late 1990s to 9.5 million in 2008. In terms of production volume in 2008, China has surpassed Korea, France, Germany, and the United States, trailing only Japan. A disproportionate share of China’s output was heavy vehicles in the 1990s. However, since 2000 China’s growth has been led by an increase in passenger cars, which now account for more than 65% of its vehicle production. China’s automobile industry has continued to expand despite the global economic downturn. From January to October 2009, more than 10 million vehicles were sold in China. If such growth continues, China is on its way to becoming world’s largest auto market. Unlike Korea or Japan, China’s automotive industry has developed extensively through foreign direct investment. This investment has come in the form of alliances and joint ventures between international automobile manufacturers and Chinese partners. The international automobile manufacturers are unlikely to promote Chinese exports that compete with their own products in other markets.

  • The Institutional Perspective on Outward Foreign Direct Investment
    The Institutional Perspective on Outward Foreign Direct Investment from China: the Relationship between the Government and Firms QIAN CHENG, BA. MSc. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 I Abstract China's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) has increased considerably in the last few decades. The development of China's OFDI has distinct features, in particular the fact that the major investors undertaking large-scale deals are state-owned enterprises. However, they have few competitive advantages compared with their international counterparts. As mainstream theories have difficulty in providing a reasonable explanation of China's OFDI, this thesis analyses the Chinese government's home country measures (HCMs) and their effects on OFDI, contributing to the understanding of the institutional analysis in international business. Based on the analyses of26 key policies and regulations, the Chinese government's role as a supervisor to examine and approve OFDI activities is addressed, as well its role as a promoter to support the Chinese enterprises' investment in the international economy. Regarding the administration, regulations for examining and approving the OFDI projects have been relaxed, which supports the improvement ofOFDI. However, the outcomes of post- investment monitoring and extraterritorial controls are under question. The Chinese government supports OFDI largely by means of special funds and preferential loans issued by the institutions and banks. Additionally, China's OFDI information system primarily functions to provide data and information for policy formulation and complement the financial support. Employing data of 50 largest Chinese business groups ranked by overseas assets, their overseas subsidiaries and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, it is understood that their motivation for undertaking OFDI is to address their competitive disadvantages rather than to exploit their competitive advantages.
