A Global road map for China's automakers / Paul Gao
Sumario: A decade of astonishing growth has catapulted China past Germany and Japan to become the world's second-largest market for automobiles, trailing only the United States. Global OEMs such as GM, Toyota Motor, and Volkswagen still command the lion's share of sales in China.

Such ambitions aren't far fetched: as recently as 2004, China was a net importer of automobiles; in 2005, the country became a net exporter, and in 2007 it exported over half a million cars and trucks, the majority of them Chinese-branded vehicles shipped to developing markets around the world
