An announcement will be made to the public through the event’s official website and WeChat accounts.” The Auto China 2022 is held every two years with the last exhibition also having been postponed due to the epidemic. This auto show will now have been postponed for two consecutive sessions.

As the first A-class motor show at the beginning of each year, the Auto China 2022 has promoted and spurred interest in the domestic market while creating a unique retail environment.
