# Former Vice Minister of Commerce Chen Jian: The automotive industry's core technology innovation is insufficient, but the research and development of new energy vehicles is refreshing

> Former Vice Minister of Commerce Chen Jian pointed out at the 2025 China Automobile Chongqing Forum that the automotive industry faces issues such as insufficient core technology innovation and weak independent research and development capabilities, but the research and development performance of new energy vehicles is outstanding. He mentioned pain points such as insufficient industry concentration, backward production capacity, and conflicts between transportation and environmental protection, and emphasized that industrial policies should ensure fairness and not rely solely on subsidies. He also mentioned the harm of involution-style competition to the industry and called for joint development within the industry

The 2025 China Automobile Chongqing Forum will be held on June 6-7. At the opening ceremony, Chen Jian, a specially invited expert from the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Vice Minister of Commerce, delivered a speech. He pointed out that there are still several issues in the current automobile industry: insufficient core technology innovation, weak independent research and development capabilities, but the research and development of new energy vehicles is refreshing; insufficient industry concentration, with backward production capacity; contradictions between transportation, environmental protection, and energy development, with pain points still existing in automobile production, sales, and service; how to ensure fairness in industrial development policies cannot rely solely on subsidies. In addition, he also mentioned the topic of involution competition, believing that it is very harmful to the industry. "Do not engage in involution competition; we should form a joint force for common development," he said
