正当各路媒体争相报道中国汽车自主品牌——吉利第一次亮相世界知名五大车展之一的法兰克福汽车展之时,博鳌亚洲论坛秘书长龙永图在广州花都举办的汽车论坛上的讲话:“不必刻意追求自主品牌,中国汽车产业参与全球化的突破口不在整车领域”,立马遭到了来自各方的反对,并在汽车界引发了关于“中国汽车工业是否需要自主品牌”的激烈争论。 At a time when media outlets in China are competing to report the first auto show of China’s auto brands at the Frankfurt Motor Show, one of the world’s top five auto shows, Long Yongtu, the Secretary-General of BFA, made a speech at the Automotive Forum held in Huadu, Guangzhou: “No need to deliberately pursue own brands. The breakthrough of China’s auto industry participating in globalization is not in the field of complete vehicles.” It immediately came under opposition from all parties and sparked heated debates in the automotive industry about whether “China’s auto industry needs its own brand.”
