The China Automotive Supplier Exposition will be held at Marriott
Hotel, Troy, Michigan on October 30-31, 2002. This event is organized
by Detroit Chinese Business Association (DCBA) and China Association
of Automotive Manufacturers (CAAM). Shanghai Automotive Industry
Corporation (Group) is the principle sponsor of the exposition. The
exposition is also sponsored and supported by the US and China major
OEMs and suppliers. About 40 China's automotive OEMs and suppliers
will participate this event to showcase their products and technology.
The key speakers include Bo Anderssen, Vice President of General
Motors Corporation; Tony Brown, Vice President of Ford Motor Company;
Maoyuan Hu, President of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation
(Group); and Lei Jiang, Vice President & Secretary General of China
Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

By entering World Trade Organization (WTO), China agrees to gradually
lower its current 80-100% tariff on automotive imports to 25% by 2005.
That gives US auto OEMs and suppliers, as well as our Japanese and
European competitors, unprecedented access to China's markets. China
is rapidly becoming the most important battlefront for all global
OEMs.  

With an 18% annual growth rate, China's local manufacturers are
gearing up to meet the booming domestic demand. Further more, China
auto suppliers are seeking to integrate into the global auto family.
As the world's most economical manufacturing factory, China is poised
to become a major player in the global automotive market. 

How well do you know about the major Chinese OEMs, suppliers and the
products they offered?  How should US OEMs and suppliers respond to
the rising of the newest player in the global automotive marketplace?
This exposition is a great opportunity for US OEMs and suppliers to
meet their Chinese counterparts. This exposition is presented to
assist you network with Chinese OEMs, become familiar with their
products, and establish the groundwork for the potential
comprehensive, cooperative business relationship.
