Chinese
Auto Supplier Networking, hosted by Detroit Chinese Business Association and aimed
to strengthen the cooperation between U.S. and Chinese auto component and equipment
suppliers, kicked off here on last Friday. Several Chinese auto suppliers from
Dalian, Guangzhou, Beijing, Hunan and Tianjin showcased their products and technologies
in the one-day networking event. Over 100 auto professionals and executives from
the United States, China and Canada attended the exhibition. Tan
Mingan, president of Detroit Chinese Business Association, said that in the past
decade, both U.S. and Chinese governments and auto industries have been vigorously
exploring effective ways to cooperate with each other and achieve mutual benefits.
The United States is increasingly becoming one of the major markets for the auto
parts manufactured in China, and "the Networking provided a platform for
U.S. Original equipment manufacturers and Tier suppliers to meet with Chinese
counterparts and find alternative supply sources," he said.
China
exported nearly 7-billion-dollar auto components and equipment in 2006 to the
United States, according to statistics released by the U.S. Commerce Department.
With improvement of quality and innovation, China is becoming the second largest
auto parts supplier for the United States after Mexico.
