Benitez Looking To Next Year After apos;very Strange apos; CSL Season

"Maybe someone can explain how Teda, winning one game, was safe, and Ever Bright, winning five games but still playing for relegation. So it has no sense," says Rafael Benitez Rafa Benitez took aim at the revamped Chinese Super League, saying that it made "no sense", [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] but the revered Spanish coach is already planning for another season with Dalian Pro. The former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager concluded a difficult campaign with a 4-0 defeat as Dalian finished 12th of 16 teams in the CSL, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu từ hà nội] which was reformatted and delayed by five months because of the coronavirus pandemic. "This season, with the format of the competition, it doesn't matter where you finish, so it's just so strange that I don't care," the 60-year-old, who guided Liverpool to Champions League glory in 2005, said, referring to Dalian's final league spot. Benitez took over at Dalian in July last year and reportedly has a contract worth £12 million ($16 million) a year after tax until December 2021. That would mean another campaign in China and despite frequent reports of interest from the Premier League, Benitez appears set to stay put. "It's just a season that you have to finish... and we have to start thinking of the next one because this one was very, very special, very strange, and you can't evaluate and you can't consider anything because the format of the competition was totally different from a normal one," he said. A young Dalian squad won five of their 20 matches and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] ended the CSL with a 4-3 aggregate defeat to Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Guangzhou R&F on Tuesday. The CSL started in July, five months late, and all matches were played in two secure "bubbles" in Suzhou and Dalian because of the coronavirus. After the first phase, teams went into a knockout-style competition over two legs to determine league placings, including who wins the title and who is relegated. It means that even though [http://www.guardian.co.uk/search?q=Tianjin%20Teda Tianjin Teda] failed to win in 14 games in the first phase, a 3-1 aggregate victory over Jordi Cruyff's [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=Shenzhen Shenzhen] in the second stage was enough to secure survival. In contrast, Shijiazhuang Ever Bright could be relegated later Wednesday, despite winning five matches this season. "Maybe someone can explain how Teda, winning one game, was safe, and Ever Bright, winning five games but still playing for relegation," said an unimpressed Benitez. "So it has no sense."

Chinese Fast-fashion Brand Sells 30 000 Cheap Items To Girls Every Day

2020-12-30T06:24:15Z

BerniceKilburn6:

Few people over the age of 30 will have heard of the clothes label Shein. Yet from its base 6,000 miles away on the Pearl River delta, this Chinese brand could soon be the biggest retailer of fast fashion in Britain, if it isn't already. The giant firm is taking on home-grown competitors such as Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and Missguided, and is expanding rapidly. Backed by ruthlessly efficient marketing through 'influencers' and social-media sites, Shein is filling teenage wardrobes with dirt-cheap tops and skirts. It sells an estimated 30,000 items to Britain every day - that's more than ten million a year - and spends more on advertising in this country than any other clothing label, bewitching a generation of young, almost entirely female shoppers. Shein collaborates with celebrities such as ITV's I'm A Celebrity… winner Georgia Toffolo (pictured) It is surprising, therefore, how little is known about the company or how it produces garments so cheaply that even the notorious sweatshops of Leicester can't compete. With a tiny British office and fewer than a dozen staff here, Shein has remained shrouded in mystery, but an investigation by The Mail on Sunday has uncovered claims including: Piracy on a vast scale as it adds more than 1,000 new items every day to its vast online catalogue, often copying popular designs;Bosses profiting from absurdly cheap postage rates subsided by the Royal Mail;Widespread complaints about flimsy, shoddily produced clothes;Huge environmental damage from discarded clothes worn only once or twice..Never has fashion been faster, or cheaper. Yet the questions are mounting as steadily as Shein's multi-million-pound profits. BRITISH TEENAGERS ARE RUTHLESSLY TARGETED Shein sells fashion at pocket-money prices: tops for £3.49 and dresses for £4.99. In a Black Friday sale, some tops were less than £2 each. Its target market is the lucrative teen and young adult demographic, and social media is the key to reaching them, which is why Facebook and YouTube users are bombarded with adverts for the brand. Shein collaborates with celebrities such as ITV's I'm A Celebrity… winner Georgia Toffolo, who signed up to pose wearing two of the brand's collections in the past nine months, while a virtual catwalk show in September featured Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding as models. Then there is an army of influencers on Instagram and Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok. Shein persuades young women to post clips of themselves with branded boxes crammed with purchases - so-called 'Shein hauls'. The hashtag #sheinhaul has nearly a billion views on the app, while #shein has a further 3.1 billion. House of Sunny, an independent womenswear label in East London, said its £90 Daybreak cardigan (right) was copied by Shein and sold for £25 (left) If someone's post is 'liked' by Shein, which has 15 million Instagram followers, they can easily amass half a million views and thousands of new followers. The firm's affiliate programme offers financial rewards to social-media users who show off recent buys and direct their followers to the brand's website. Such affiliates receive up to 20 per cent commission on every purchase they help to sell - a welcome addition to any teenager's pocket money. HUGE PROFITS FROM ITS CHINESE FACTORIES China may have inflicted Covid-19 on the world, but now it is benefiting economically through firms such as Shein as Britons stranded at home have turned to the internet to shop. Shein, which is privately owned, won't release its financial figures, although Chinese media have estimated that it will make more than £11 billion of sales this year from its factories based round the industrial powerhouse of Guangzhou. By comparison, the UK's Boohoo Group has annual sales of about £2 billion. Industry analysts say the Shein app is significantly more popular than those run by rivals, with 12 million worldwide downloads in the past month alone. And according to one leading British distribution company, Shein posts about 30,000 orders a day to the UK. Fashion analyst Juozas Kaziukenas, from Marketplace Pulse, said: 'Shein seem to be killing it. It's a pretty fascinating company. There's a huge untapped demand for affordable fashion. We've had H&M, Zara and Asos. Shein has taken it one step further. 'It's also fascinating that it all comes from China, which allows it to have lower costs. 'Everyone knows that Primark gets everything from China but they are middlemen. Shein goes direct to the customer. It's hard for other retailers to compete on price when you're selling from China. 'The Government needs to close shipping and tax loopholes which lets this be so successful. THE MULTI-BILLION POUND MYSTERY Despite huge sales, little is known about Shein. Mainly based in China, Singapore and Hong Kong, the company was founded in China by Chris Xu, also known as Yangtian Xu or Sky Xu, an American-born graduate of Washington University in the US. The company's headquarters are in Shenzhen, the city linking Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland. Xu created the brand, then known as SheInside, in 2008. Since then, he is reported to have raised £39 million from a variety of backers. 'Shein is almost an unknown to anyone outside the fashion industry,' said Kaziukenas. 'I don't know who the chief executive is; I don't know how much money they've made. 'They are very secretive as a company. They don't comment on anything or put out any press releases.' When contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Shein refused to disclose sales figures, profits, manufacturing or distribution techniques. Its only physical presence in Britain is a rented second-floor office behind black gates in Islington, North London. Security was tight when we visited - a buzzer at the front gate, another to access the site and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a third to enter the lift. Ten or so people - some Chinese and some British - are thought to work there in a combined office and photo studio. Many of those who claim to be victims of piracy are small, independent labels without the resources to challenge an international giant. Typical is cult French [http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=label%20Maison label Maison] Cleo, run by mother and daughter Cleo and Marie Dewet, which specialises in hand-crafted, limited-edition blouses (pictured) Maison Cleo claim that one of their distinctive £200 garments with an oversized pleated collar was copied and sold by Shein for just £11.49 (pictured) POPULAR DESIGNS ARE 'RIPPED OFF' WITHIN DAYS Shein boasts of 'thousands of new styles' daily on its website, but it has been accused of copying other designers in its rush to release new products. Instagram is full of allegations of piracy, and one source with a good knowledge of Shein confirmed that the firm itself has been inundated with complaints. With the aid of computer technology and low labour costs, Shein aims to get new designs ready for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] shipping in just three days, the news agency Reuters recently reported. In comparison, Zara takes about three weeks for a design to go from the drawing board to the shop floor. With such tight turnaround, Shein can target the styles, colours and fabrics of its clothing to match the most popular ranges in the UK at any given time. Many of those who claim to be victims of piracy are small, independent labels without the resources to challenge an international giant. Typical is cult French label Maison Cleo, run by mother and [http://ms-jd.org/search/results/search&keywords=daughter%20Cleo/ daughter Cleo] and Marie Dewet, which specialises in hand-crafted, limited-edition blouses.

Pictured is a Shein haul on TikTok House of Sunny, an independent womenswear label in East London, said its £90 Daybreak cardigan was copied by Shein and sold for £25. Camilla Ley, the brand's managing director, said: 'Shein have copied our designs in the past. There's nothing we can do about it, which is heartbreaking for a small indie company like ours.' For its part, Shein claims to have 'established a huge team of professional designers' with a designer recruitment programme seeking new talent. Mr Xu has said: 'These designers are young, creative and energetic. I like to work with them, and hopefully they can become our partners.' But there is widespread doubt as to whether this is the only - or even the main - way the label operates. The head designer of a London-based brand, who did not want to be named, claimed it was common for fast-fashion brands to use sophisticated software - for which Shenzhen is famous - to use pictures of other firm's outfits to quickly create copies. PAYING 'PENNIES' TO POST ITEMS TO YOUR DOOR Shein takes advantage of heavily reduced postal charges, subsidised by the Royal Mail. The company ships orders in small consignments through the ordinary postal system, benefiting from low international rates that allow packages to be sent thousands of miles for very small fees. The system was originally set up to by the United Nations Universal Postal Union to help developing countries, not the second-largest economy in the world. This loophole is set to be closed soon, as is the concession that no VAT is charged on imported consignments under £15. Interestingly, customers often find that their clothes take a long time to be delivered, and that different items on the same order arrive separately. There is no suggestion Shein has behaved improperly, but Richard Allen, of Retailers Against VAT Abuse Schemes, says: 'Chinese retailers are paying pennies to send these things. We are subsidising Chinese retailers to undercut UK businesses.' SHEIN KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE THINKING Chinese media have reported how Shein uses software to analyse internet searches to establish which colours, fabrics and styles customers are looking for and adapts its ranges to target specific trends in individual countries. For example, red jeans might be popular in Germany, while shoppers in the UK might be looking for a jumper worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. Shein refuses to discuss the technology it uses. DUMPED IN LANDFILL AND POLLUTING THE OCEANS Critics condemn Shein for contributing to fast-fashion pollution problems, in which 350,000 tons of clothing are dumped in landfill every year. Some claim that fashion is the world's second-biggest polluting industry after fossil fuels. Many Shein items are made of polyester, a synthetic fabric usually derived from petroleum. When washed, they produce microfibres, which contribute to the huge volumes of plastic pollution in the seas. Most of Shein's factories are in Panyu, an industrial hub in Guangzhou. The firm claims to provide 'industry-leading working conditions' with 'a safe, clean, happy and protective environment'. But Lauren Bravo, author of How To Break Up With Fast Fashion, says: 'The brand pays lip service to ethics and social responsibility, but as far as I can see there's no solid information to back up any of those claims. Nobody can sell a new dress for less than a tenner without someone, somewhere paying the price.' MANY HUNDREDS OF UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS Nearly half of the more than 2,400 comments left for Shein on consumer review website Trustpilot give just one star ('bad') out of five. Many customers complain that items fell apart after a single wear, were not true to the advertised size or didn't look like the website photos. Others warned of bad customer service or long waits for clothing to arrive. Annie Howard, of Manchester, ordered bikinis from the site and said: 'They were really bad quality, only lasting for one holiday.' And Rebecca Gilpin, an artist from London, said: 'I ordered a cardigan and a two-piece seven months ago and they have only just arrived. The quality is awful. The fabric was stuck together as hard as Velcro. I will never buy from them again.'

Inspired Teixeira Drags Jiangsu To First Chinese Super League Title

2020-12-30T04:42:36Z

BerniceKilburn6:

Jiangsu Suning have won their first Chinese Super League title Brazilian forward Alex Teixeira starred as Jiangsu Suning won their first Chinese Super League title with a 2-1 victory over Fabio Cannavaro's 10-man Guangzhou Evergrande on Thursday. The second leg of the championship decider belonged to the 30-year-old Teixeira, who was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool before joining Jiangsu for 50 million euros in 2016. In front of 9,386 spectators in Suzhou -- limited crowds have returned to Chinese football despite the lingering coronavirus threat -- the former Vasco da Gama and Shakhtar Donetsk man lit up what had been a dour tie for much of the two legs. The first match ended 0-0. Teixeira was central to the opener, dribbling from deep within his own half before being dragged down when through on goal, resulting in a red card, and he scored Jiangsu's second just after the break. Substitute Wei Shihao pulled a goal back for Cannavaro's side but Jiangsu held on to snatch Guangzhou's league crown. "As I told them before the game, everything in this life is about happiness and memories, and this they will remember for all their life," said Cosmin Olaroiu, Jiangsu's coach who has won league championships in his native Romania, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and now China. "For most of them, it's their first trophy." - Guangzhou rattled - The first leg ended goalless and the return fixture was similarly devoid of goal-mouth action for most of the first half. Alex Teixeira was the star as Jiangsu Suning defeated Guangzhou Evergrande to clinch the Chinese Super League title But with half-time approaching, up stepped Teixeira, racing two-thirds of the pitch only to be upended as he was bearing down on goal. After consulting the video assistant referee (VAR), South Korean referee Ko Hyung-jin gave Jiangsu a free-kick just outside the box and sent off Guangzhou's He Chao. Eder, the Brazilian-born Italian international, hit the free-kick into the wall but former Barcelona star Paulinho turned his back and the ball ricocheted off him and into the net. Guangzhou, winners of the CSL eight times, were rattled and just two minutes into the second half it was 2-0. Their former Everton defender Tyias Browning made a mess of a long ball and [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Teixeira%20darted Teixeira darted] past him before firing low into the corner from outside the box.

Wei headed in with 29 minutes left but Jiangsu and Teixeira would not be denied. Prior to this, their best showing in the CSL was twice runners-up, each time behind Guangzhou.

Hazmats On Star Players Out As Asian Champions League Returns

China's Guangzhou Evergrande won the Asian Champions League in 2013 and 2015 Two-time winners Guangzhou Evergrande will have to do without star man Paulinho as the delayed Asian Champions League East returns this week with a heavy schedule of games played in "bubble" conditions in Qatar. Fifteen teams will race through 33 matches in a little over two weeks to complete the group stage, suspended because of the coronavirus since early March, with eight teams then playing the knockout phase to decide who reaches the December 19 final. Shanghai SIPG players, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu từ hà nội] including the former Chelsea midfielder Oscar, Asia's most expensive player, arrived in full hazmat suits with face masks and protective glasses, illustrating the challenges facing the tournament. Qatar, the 2022 World Cup host, has already successfully staged the West zone competition, won by Iran's Persepolis who now await the East winner in the final. Guangzhou Evergrande's Paulinho is out with a thigh injury But although Qatar was praised for its "smooth delivery" of the competition, it wasn't trouble-free as defending champions Al Hilal were kicked out when a coronavirus outbreak left them unable to field enough players. Players and officials must be tested before departure and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] on arrival in Qatar, and will undergo further tests every three to six days, the Asian Football Confederation said. Games will be played behind closed doors. "All players and officials will also be put under a bio-secure bubble which limits their movement only to the hotel, stadium and training sites," the AFC added. According to the Beijing Youth Daily, all four Chinese teams are staying in the same hotel in Doha, with four floors each and separate dining areas to prevent mingling. - Player complaints - Evergrande are one of three Chinese sides who are yet to play a match in the competition, which was halted after a handful of games eight months ago as the pandemic advanced. Ulsan Hyundai goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo (L) tested positive for the coronavirus while on international duty for South Korea Coach Fabio Cannavaro, the 2006 Italian World Cup-winning captain, will be hoping to make amends after Evergrande lost their Chinese Super League title to Jiangsu Suning last week. But they will have to do without Paulinho, the former Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and their top-scorer in the Chinese Super League, who is out with a thigh injury. Captain Zheng Zhi, 40, is also ruled out for Evergrande, who begin their campaign against South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings on Sunday and also face Japan's Vissel Kobe in Group G. The group has been cut to three teams after Malaysian authorities refused to let Johor Darul Ta'zim leave the country, whose borders are closed to stop the spread of Covid-19. In Group H, Shanghai SIPG play Sydney FC on Thursday before facing Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, the 2006 and 2016 champions who are bidding for a trophy treble after winning the South Korean league and cup double. SIPG have Brazilians Oscar and Hulk and [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Australia%27s%20Aaron&gs_l=news Australia's Aaron] Mooy at their disposal, but former West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic was left out after travelling for internationals with Austria. Beijing Guoan will similarly be without Cedric Bakambu after the forward flew off to play for Congo. Defending champions Al Hilal were kicked out after a coronavirus outbreak China's football association urged Chinese teams not to bring players who have been on international duty, fearing possible coronavirus cases. South Korea are one of several teams to run into problems during the international break, with goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo -- who plays for Ulsan Hyundai in Group F -- one of six players to test positive during their trip for friendlies in Austria. Not everyone is happy about the decision to play the East Asian competition, featuring teams from Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand, in Qatar. Global players union FIFPRO said players had complained about the risks of travelling, and that quarantine would interfere with family life, domestic games and training.

Shortly after the match, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Yokohama announced Postecoglou had agreed an extension to stay in charge of the club in 2021. With the team's hopes of defending their J-League crown already over, Postecoglou says his aim is to go all out in pursuit of the Asian Champions League crown. "This is the tournament. While there are still many areas where we can grow as a team, it is important," he said. "We haven't achieved anything yet. It is important to evolve steadily as the games continue. "It's been a difficult season this year, but we still have something we can grasp and we want to keep fighting." Yokohama defeated Sydney 4-0 when the two teams met in Japan in February, before the competition was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Postecoglou's team will face an opponent from Group G in the last 16, most likely China's Guangzhou Evergrande or South Korea's Suwon Bluewings.

How Parent Of BMW apos;s China Partner Drove To The Brink Of Bankruptcy

2020-12-29T23:42:55Z

BerniceKilburn6:

By Yilei Sun and Tony Munroe BEIJING, Nov 27 (Reuters) - In October 2003, the first China-made BMW 325i sedan rolled off a new production line owned by the German luxury brand and its joint venture partner, Brilliance, a subsidiary of provincially owned automaker Huachen Group. It was a milestone for the iconic Bavarian marque, whose cars proved massively popular in what became the world's largest market. Over the next nearly two decades, the joint venture was a cash cow for both BMW and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Huachen, which is run by the government of the northeastern rust-belt province of Liaoning. But this month, Huachen stands on the brink of bankruptcy, defaulting on 6.5 billion yuan ($987.48 million) in debt obligations. Chinese regulators have launched an investigation into possible violations of disclosure laws by the company. The defaults by Huachen and two other Chinese state-owned companies have angered investors, who say their faith in the firms' top-notch ratings, seemingly sound finances and implicit state backing has been violated. An examination of dozens of bond filings as well as interviews with former Huachen employees and experts shows how the carmaker squandered its advantage of having a gold-plated partner and was unable to leverage its know-how to develop competitive cars of its own. Some strategic missteps on the choice of models hurt it badly and an expansion into electric vehicles, funded by debt, came too late. "Management's key selling point to BMW to win the partnership was simple: as a smaller and weaker Chinese company, Brilliance will follow what BMW says without making trouble," said a person close to Brilliance's top management at the time, declining to be named given the [http://www.shewrites.com/main/search/search?q=sensitivity sensitivity] of the matter. Bigger state carmakers like SAIC Motor and Guangzhou Automobile Group were actively involved in their joint ventures and used the expertise of foreign partners to build stronger domestic brands. Huachen and its Hong Kong-listed Brilliance unit, which also has a joint venture with Renault SA, did not respond to requests for comment. BMW declined to comment for this story. BMW told Reuters last week that the JV's operations "are not directly affected by the payment difficulties" of the Huachen group. The German company has agreed to pay 3.6 billion euros ($4.2 billion) in 2022 for a further 25% stake in the venture with Brilliance, a deal brokered in 2018 by China's Premier Li Keqiang and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Renault said its JV "is running normally". A court has accepted a restructuring application by creditors of Huachen, which employs over 40,000 people and has assets worth 190 billion yuan, including the BMW Brilliance tie-up. Huachen said in a filing that if it is not able to restructure, it will declare bankruptcy. Lou Weiliang, a Shanghai-based lawyer at Fangda Partners, said it was possible that all or part of Huachen's stake in China Brilliance could be sold to a third-party under a restructuring, with proceeds used to repay creditors. But nothing will be clear until a restructuring plan is announced, he said. 'DRAGON HEAD' As recently as May 13, in a call with nearly 90 investors, Huachen executives told creditors that money to repay debt due in the second half of the year had been "adequately arranged." Chief Accountant Gao Xingang said that as a "dragon head", or leading, automaker in Liaoning province, Huachen enjoyed strong local government backing, according to meeting minutes seen by Reuters. But at the end of September, one month before its bond delinquency, Huachen transferred its prize 30% stake in Brilliance to a subsidiary, making it harder for bondholders to access those assets. Investors cried foul. "After all, Huachen is a big state-owned company in Liaoning province, and we thought they had core assets including an attractive stake in the BMW joint venture," said Shanghai-based hedge fund manager Vincent Jin. BMW Brilliance sold a record 550,000 vehicles last year and made 7.6 billion yuan in profit, helping generate dividends of HK$1.8 billion ($232.17 million) for Huachen. In the early days of China's automotive boom, Huachen was a competitive player in its own right, selling more than 200,000 vehicles in 2013 under its Zhonghua, or "China" brand. "We thought we would be the first domestic carmaker to sell premium cars well in China," said a former Huachen executive who now works for another Chinese carmaker. But its competitors sped ahead while [http://www.usatoday.com/search/Zhonghua%27s%20domestic/ Zhonghua's domestic] sales slumped to just 25,270 cars last year and only 5,312 in the first three quarters of 2020, according to consultancy LMC. Chinese rivals such as Geely and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] Great Wall developed stronger products and technology, while state-backed SAIC Motor and Guangzhou Automobile grew with the know-how of joint venture partners. Huachen, by comparison, used a scattershot approach to planning, with vehicles such as a mid-size sedan and compact SUV that were not complementary, said Yale Zhang, head of consultancy AutoForesight. "Zhonghua did not plan its products systematically," he said. "That made their products fail to meet the fast-changing market demand in China." MPV DEBACLE About a decade ago, consultants hired by Huachen warned it against plans to develop a premium MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), citing competition, an unclear outlook for the segment and Huachen's technology disadvantage compared with the popular Buick GL8 made by General Motors Co. Huachen, led by longtime Chairman Qi Yumin, formerly vice mayor of the port city of Dalian, approved the Huasong project anyway. "Qi was too confident about his plans. Unlike officials with deep experience in the auto industry who tend to seek opinions from different departments, Qi made decisions on his own," one person familiar with Qi and Huachen management said. Qi, who retired last year, could not be reached for comment. Last year, Huachen sold just 1,184 Huasong MPVs, while GM sold around 150,000 GL8s in China. Efforts to freshen Huachen's portfolio helped lead to its current predicament. Fourteen bonds that Huachen has said it is unable to repay were issued between 2017 to 2020 to roll over debt, for working capital and to fund product upgrades and two plant projects. In one 7.5 billion yuan project, Huachen planned a revamp of a factory to be completed this year to create capacity for 100,000 vehicles, including 30,000 electric ones, based on a new car platform. The investment came way too late, as China's saturated electric vehicle market underwent a painful consolidation after Beijing cut generous purchase subsidies. By then, rivals like Geely and BYD had rolled out more sophisticated EV strategies. "Huachen missed the golden time when Chinese brands rose and all of a sudden it fell behind smaller rivals," the former Huachen executive said. As recently as August, Huachen Vice President Qi Kai, who is not related to Qi Yumin, told an industry conference that the group planned to sell around 1.95 million vehicles annually by the end of 2025, including 1 million from the BMW Brilliance JV. Analysts call that target unrealistic. The group sold just 800,000 vehicles last year - the majority from the BMW Brilliance joint venture.
