Wikipedia:WikiProject Chinese Cars

China has an incredibly diverse automotive industry and market– and it's expanding rapidly. There are manufacturers in China as small as new electric vehicle startup companies founded in the past week to corporations which dominate a large percentage in automobile sales and own other large foreign companies. Each manufacturer brings something unique and different too. China has the world's largest automotive industry, but unfortunately, the Western World knows very little of this market. Such a large yet unknown automotive industry that demands expanded and improved coverage on Wikipedia is what WikiProject Chinese Cars is here to work on.
