The National Development and Reform Commission announced that China's manufacturing industry will be further liberalized. The automobile industry will implement a transitional period of different types. In 2018, the ratio restriction of foreign-invested shares of special vehicles and new energy vehicles will be abolished; meanwhile the ratio restriction of foreign-invested shares of commercial vehicles will be removed by 2020. However, China will only fully open-up passenger vehicles that own the largest market size in 2022, and it has actually given a protection period of more than four years. Whether this can satisfy the Trump administration that is exerting pressure on China's trade is yet to be known.
