PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The 'hot abroad, cold at home' dynamic is now entrenched; going global is no longer an option but a survival imperative. Leading firms like BYD are bypassing tariffs and boosting margins through localized manufacturing, signaling a shift from simple trade exports to global supply chain integration. The industry must avoid exporting domestic price wars; regulators have explicitly banned unfair low pricing. Only by building sustainable local ecosystems and corporate citizenship can Chinese automakers avoid repeating past mistakes in motorcycle exports and achieve true globalization.
