A German EV Enthusiast's 'China Circle' Shows How Consumer Ties Deepen China-Germany NEV Cooperation
A feature by Xinhua and Guangming Daily (Oct 28) profiles a German car enthusiast who drives a Chinese electric vehicle and has built a local "circle" of China-EV owners and fans, surprising passengers with the cars' intelligent features. The story frames China-Germany auto cooperation from the consumer up: German firms lead in hardware and design while Chinese makers excel in software, supply chains and batteries, creating complementary space. At the 2026 Paris Motor Show, 16 Chinese automakers brought 25 brands, a record, with Leapmotor, Geely, GAC and XPeng among them, as cooperation moves from product exports to joint R&D, technology sharing, local manufacturing and supply-chain coordination across China and Europe.
