It is necessary to strengthen departmental cooperation, government-enterprise linkage, establish and improve a coordinated work mechanism, and promptly identify and solve key issues. Automobile companies, especially leading enterprises, should compete rationally, legally, and comply with regulations, playing a leading role. Industry associations should play a good role as a bridge link, guide the industry to strengthen self-discipline, unite to resist irrational competition in the industry, and jointly maintain a fair and just market competition order.
