You mean comparison after converting LCU to dollar, so perhaps currency manipulation?

The GDP figure cited comes from the World Bank database. I'm not sure how WB collects the data.

My interpretation is:
- China's GDP is indeed underestimated, or the Chinese government is too dishonest.
- The massive scale of the Chinese automobile industry eases the difficulty for an ordinary person to own a car.

2016 The most sold cars in China r domestic GreatWall's HAVAL SUV and WuLing MPV, not Toyota ... and the most sold foreign car in China r Germany Volkswagen's Lavida, not Toyota.

China automobile market not as same as India's, don't put fake Indian news here.

2016年度销量出炉，这3款车全中国卖得最好！
In China, Foreign car sale: Volkswagen > Ford > Toyota. The most sales are "Made in China" SUV and MPV.

Right now Chinese focus on domestic automobile building, in the near future China's automobile corporations will sell cars into your home just like today "Made in China" smartphones. Next export from China is "Made in China" cars.

HAHA ... I just tell a truth, in China most middle-class & poor-class like buying "Made in China" cars like domestic SUV & MPV, few middle-class and most rich-class family like buying foreign car, mostly Volkswagen & Ford, rest are Toyota or Honda. Mr Leio is working in BYD AUTO, understand the development of China automobile market.

In China city SUV is more welcomed, in China village MPV is more welcomed ... so both sold more than family sedan. China HAVAL SUV and WuLing MPV welcomed by Chinese folks in city & village, cheaper than foreign same cars ... in the recent three years as far as I know both are the most sold cars in China.

Looking forward to Made in China car industry to capture 75% of home market and become dominant in neighboring countries like India and Vietnam.

Also, China must solidify leadership in global EV technology, manufacturing and market share.

"Chinese trust Chinese products"

BTW, did the super power India add more cars than China as predicted? If I remember correctly, the car sales of India were 3.6 million in 2016 right?

China is the country on 4x vehicle wheels

Are you sure that "Chinese don't trust Chinese products"?

China might have more cars. But I'm certain that India had more rickshaws. So we cannot look at transportation from just one angle.

Stop bringing other countries into this thread, especially when their automobile market is insignificant. More so when it doesn't add any value to the discussion.

Friendly reminder: This thread is about China's automobile market.

The trend is promising. Local brands need to continue to innovate and build reliable models with a strong service network and aggressive advertising.

Once the perceptions are changed, the story will be similar to that of mobile sector.

China home market is crowded with many brands, but, that's normal, the US used to have countless brands which later consolidated. In the 2000s, even GM killed many brands competing each other.

An oligopoly or worse monopoly is never good for the consumer and finally for the state. The US oligarchy serves as a warning.
