Yangtze Delta Auto Parts Export Compliance and Practice Forum Held in Shanghai

On July 2, 2026, the "Compliance as Your Compass: Steady Expansion Overseas" Exchange Conference on Compliance and Practical Operations for Yangtze River Delta Automotive Parts Enterprises Going Global was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The event was co-organized by the Shanghai Automotive Parts Industry Association and Shanghai Auto Show Management Co., Ltd. Attendees included Xu Jia, President of Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co., Ltd.; Fan Zefang, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Automotive Parts Industry Association; and Xie Yong, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Walianfa Business Consulting Co., Ltd. Representatives from over 100 automotive-related enterprises across the Yangtze River Delta region participated in the conference. Xu Jia emphasized that the Yangtze River Delta boasts China’s most comprehensive automotive parts industrial chain and serves as a core hub for parts exports and overseas investment. Enterprises in the region are strategically focusing on markets in Asia, the Americas, and Africa to supply components to overseas vehicle manufacturers. However, with increasingly stringent global trade regulations and rising compliance thresholds, robust compliance and risk management have become essential foundations for successful international expansion. Fan Zefang noted that this conference created an efficient platform for industry matchmaking, bridging compliance/risk control with market development, thereby helping enterprises mitigate overseas risks, seize global supply opportunities, and enhance the international competitiveness of regional industries. The conference was moderated by Feng Jun, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Automotive Parts Industry Association. Li Xinpu, Senior Project Manager of the Financial Consulting Department at Shanghai Walianfa Business Consulting Co., Ltd., shared practical insights on overseas investment and interpreted the State Council’s Regulations on Outbound Investment. Zhang Mengjiao, Commercial Director of LongCreate Automotive Design Co., Ltd., introduced new models for Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) R&D and industrial chain globalization. Dong Chongfeng, General Manager of the International Cooperation Center of the Yangtze River Delta NEV Going Global Base, discussed a new paradigm for NEV globalization under the theme “Made in China, Delivered Globally.” Cao Weihua, Co-founder and General Manager of YingTian Overseas, jointly launched with the association the *Shanghai and Yangtze River Delta Automotive Parts Enterprises’ Q&A Handbook on Overseas Compliance and Practical Operations (2026 Edition)*, focusing on Mexico, Vietnam, and Morocco. Presented in a Q&A format, the handbook addresses key topics across the entire overseas journey—including market understanding, regulatory compliance, outbound investment, and risk response—offering clear answers to common enterprise concerns and actionable guidance. Additionally, Chen Qing, Deputy Director of the Operations & Planning Department at Shanghai Walianfa Business Consulting Co., Ltd., released the *Overseas Automotive Industrial Chain Orders Report*. Centered on compliance, this exchange conference aimed to help Yangtze River Delta automotive parts enterprises avoid overseas operational risks and steadily expand into international markets. Moving forward, relevant associations will continue organizing regular activities—including compliance training, policy interpretation, and supply-demand matchmaking—to build a professional service platform supporting the internationalization of China’s automotive industry.
