Beijing to Add New International Auto Show in 2027

The addition of a thematic show alongside the established Beijing auto exhibition signals that China's automotive trade bodies are formalising a separate platform for next-generation mobility, rather than folding it into the legacy event. That matters for the ecosystem of suppliers, tech firms and overseas brands that use these shows to gauge the direction of Chinese industrial policy. The open question is whether this new exhibition becomes a genuine policy-signalling venue or remains a secondary showcase.
