It has generated an unprecedented level of “opt-in” subscribers since it’s launch in 2004, audited by the BPA.Already one of the world’s largest markets for new vehicles, China’s car industry continues to attract massive inbound investment as OEMs seek to increase market share amidst concerns of overcapacity.
