Among China"s top 10 auto exporters, Chery exported 1.141 million vehicles in the first seven months of the year, up 71 percent year-on-year and accounting for 18.6 percent of total exports. Tesla recorded the fastest growth from a year earlier, with exports reaching 295,000 units, up 130 percent, according to the CAAM.

　　"Despite rising trade barriers in the US and Europe, China"s NEV exports continue to grow rapidly, reflecting strong global demand. Trade restrictions may shift export flows, but cannot easily curb demand for competitive products," said Cui.

　　Meanwhile, Chinese NEV companies are diversifying its markets, with regions such as Southeast Asia playing a growing role.

　　The domestic market remained the largest market for NEVs. In the first seven months, NEVs accounted for 53.2 percent of domestic auto sales, according to the CAAM.

　　The booming demand for China-made NEVs at home and abroad also rebuts the "overcapacity" narrative pushed by some Western media and politicians, as facts and figures show that demand is outpacing supply, Cui said.

　　An official from China"s Ministry of Commerce told a press conference on July 28 that China has the world"s largest consumer market, providing a testing ground for new technologies, products and services. The country has ranked first globally in NEV sales for 11 consecutive years.

　　China has built a complete and highly efficient NEV industrial system covering the entire chain, from basic materials and auto parts to complete vehicles and manufacturing equipment, with globally leading supply chain responsiveness, cost control and delivery speed.

　　"A complete, efficient and innovative automotive ecosystem is the result of long-term market competition and industrial development... It cannot be easily replicated in the short term or weakened by tariffs and trade barriers," Cui said.
