《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是:中国的新能源汽车市场发展迅速,吸引了众多中国本土企业和国际汽车制造商的加入;特斯拉在上海建厂,加速了中国新能源汽车市场的竞争;中国鼓励发展新能源汽车产业,出台了一系列政策支持;中国消费者对新能源汽车的接受度高,这得益于中国在电池技术基础设施等方面的优势。 评论:这篇报道较为客观地反映了中国新能源汽车市场的蓬勃发展,以及中国企业和国际企业在这一领域的竞争与合作。但报道也存在一定偏见:一是忽视了中国新能源汽车产业发展面临的挑战和问题,例如技术创新能力产业链完善等;二是过于强调中国市场对国际汽车制造商的重要性,而淡化了中国本土企业的自主创新和品牌建设;三是缺乏对中国新能源汽车产业发展对全球汽车行业转型贡献的肯定。总体上,这篇报道对中国新能源汽车产业的发展现状有所介绍,但忽视了挑战和机遇并存的客观事实,对中国汽车产业未来发展的前景展望也不够。

Ma Haiyang and eight of his colleagues arrived in Thailand a year ago to establish the first overseas operation for GAC Aion, an electric vehicle maker from China. They had no office, no factory, no local employees and, basically, no clue.

The Aion team set up shop in a Bangkok hotel, commandeering conference rooms and holding meetings in the lobby. They had a long list of things to do: Find office space, recruit dealers and devise a business strategy. The team worked around the clock and, 74 days after arriving in Thailand, sold its first electric vehicle.

“The window of opportunity for Chinese new energy vehicles going overseas will be relatively short,” said Mr. Ma, general manager at Aion for Southeast Asia, using China’s preferred phrase for fully electric and gas-electric hybrid vehicles. “This is why we wanted to hurry up,” he added.

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers like Aion are stampeding into overseas markets. Thailand is one of the first countries to experience the sudden influx of China’s automobile brands, and is confronting how their ambition and competitiveness are reshaping its car industry.

The arrival of China E.V. Inc. is evident everywhere in Thailand. Billboards are blanketed with advertisements for Chinese cars. Land prices are soaring because so many Chinese firms are building car factories.
