Foreign manufacturer

Until 2017, Chinese automotive policy required that a foreign carmaker must form a joint-venture with a Chinese carmaker if the former plans to sell its electric vehicles, with the Chinese carmaker owning 51% of the joint venture. However, since 2017, the Chinese government had indicated that it would liberalize foreign control in the automotive sector, allowing full ownership by foreign companies.[6]

In 2017, Tesla has been allowed to set up a plant in Shanghai city, make it the first foreign automaker to open a wholly owned factory in China.[7] In 2022, BMW and Volkswagen had acquired 75% stake in their joint ventures, which enables them to have the majority control of its Chinese joint ventures.

Joint ventures

In the past, a foreign car manufacturer had to pair with a local car company to produce cars locally, and was allowed at most 2 joint ventures in China. This restriction is to be loosened by 2022,[8] and is already loosened for 'new energy' vehicle corporations. Volkswagen, for example, has already established three joint ventures (being FAW, SAIC and JAC).

Below is a list of major car company joint ventures ever existed in Mainland China (truck and coach JVs not included). Early 1980s-90s CKD assembly agreements are not included as the production numbers are typically negligible compared to later JV efforts. Technology transfer agreements to domestic brands are also not included.
