4. World's biggest auto market

China's total vehicle sales exceeded 12 million in the January-November period, retaining its leading position in auto sales and production since January, according to statistics released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM).

China sold 7.22 million new vehicles in 2006, overtaking Japan as the second-largest auto market after the US. In January 2009, China sold 735,500 home-made vehicles, surpassing US as the world’s top auto market.

China’s auto sales hit 10.9 million in the first ten months of this year, up 37.8 percent over the same period last year, breaching the 10-million barrier for the first time ever.

Boosted by government stimulus measures such as tax cuts and subsidies for trade-ins, sales of all automobiles for the whole year are set to break the 13 million barrier, which has consolidated China’s top position in the global automobile market.

4、全球最大汽车市场

据中国汽车制造协会数据，2009年1月至11月，中国汽车销售总量超过1200万辆，从一月起一直在汽车销售和生产领域处于领先地位。

2006年，中国汽车总销售量为722万量，超过日本，成为仅次于美国的世界第二大汽车市场。2009年1月，中国国产汽车销量达73.55万辆，超过美国成为世界最大汽车市场。

去年前十个月，中国的汽车销售量达1090万辆，同比增长37.8%，首次突破千万大关。

受政府推出的减税以及对大排量汽车的以旧换新交易提供补贴等激励措施的影响，全年各类汽车总销量突破1300万，巩固了中国在全球汽车市场的领先地位。
