FAW believes China should tell foreign automakers to contribute more to the development of local brands, and limit those that are only interested in winning more sales.
FAW’s head for the export and import business, Li Weidou, told Bloomberg that the government should strictly enforce current rules against foreign automakers having over two local partners.
Chinese automakers want the government to implement measures to protect native companies, which are facing intensifying competition from expanding foreign manufacturers.
Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers suggests that the combined market share for Chinese sedans and compact cars dropped to a four-year low of 28.4% in 2012.
FAW has joint ventures with GM, Volkswagen, Mazda Motor and Toyota.
