TREE NEWS update: China FAW Chairman Qiu Xiandong told the company’s 2026 strategy seminar in Changchun on Sept 28-29 that the automaker must urgently adapt to changing conditions and quickly close two major shortcomings: intelligent connected new energy vehicles and overseas operations. He said success in the smart EV market requires grasping six “internal logics” from the customer’s perspective, including visible and trustworthy product safety, genuinely usable rather than gimmicky smart features, and anxiety-free charging and range.
China FAW Chairman Qiu Xiandong Calls for Fixing Smart EV and Overseas Business Gaps
AI take
The candour is notable: a legacy state-owned automaker's chairman framing smart EVs and overseas expansion as deficits rather than strengths, and pushing back on feature gimmickry in favour of usable safety and charging. That language matters most for domestic rivals already competing on those exact terms, and for FAW's own positioning as it tries to convert a strategy seminar into execution. Whether the six 'internal logics' translate into product decisions — and whether overseas operations get the same follow-through — is the open question.
