- Chinese automakers are developing new car models in as little as 18 months, far faster than the 3–5 years taken by many foreign rivals.
- Regulators fear this rapid development could outpace safety checks and quality control, potentially putting consumers at risk.
- China is considering doubling mandatory road testing for new-energy vehicles to 30,000 km to strengthen safety validation.
- Authorities have launched a year-long safety campaign, including surprise inspections and tougher scrutiny of batteries, driver-assistance systems and other new technologies.
