The President of Great Wall Motor spoke about the technological backwardness of the Chinese auto industry

His words, spoken in early February 2026 and later circulated by the media, come at a time when Chinese auto brands have increased their global presence and domestic market share.

Great Wall Motor (GWM) Chairman Wei Jianjun has issued a warning to the Chinese auto industry, saying there remains a “very large gap” with the world’s leading manufacturers.

Automakers from Germany, Japan, South Korea and the United States still have an advantage in technology, he said. Chinese companies should learn from them.

As an example of a competent approach to quality, the head of GWM cited Toyota, which, despite frequent recall campaigns, retains the trust of users thanks to proactive problem solving and clearly informing customers about repairs.

Wei Jianjun urged the industry, despite its successes, to continue to focus on product quality, technology development and long-term competitiveness.

Earlier it was reported that the revived Russo-Balt brand promised to reduce prices.
