【正确答案】The Chinese government has always placed much emphasis on the development of auto industry. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the government has granted the auto industry a high degree of protection in order to make it national industry. However, few of China’s numerous auto enterprises are of a large scale. Since the mid-1980s, spurred on by the preferential policies for investment, international auto-making giants have established joint ventures in China one after another, which indicates good prospects of China’s auto industry. After China’s entry into WTO, the domestic market faces huge challenges. It is only through fierce competition that China’s auto industry can develop.
