Chen Shihua, deputy secretary general of the China Association of Automobile of Manufactures (CAAM) said that the recovery of domestic auto consumption was lagging as demand was not fully released, with cumulative production and sales in the first two months down sharply.
However, Chen is optimistic that the situation will improve in April-June, believing that the production and sales will rise 2.8% YoY to 12.4 million units in H1 2023.
