The Cihna Chamber of Commerce for Motorcycle should play a role as a bridge between the
government and the enterprises; the Chamber should not only show consideration to the overall
national situation but also serve the motorcycle enterprises; it should strengthen the self-regulation of
motorcycle industry and promote a fast and healthy development of motorcycle industry,' said Jiang
Yaoping, the Deputy Director of the Department of Commerce, on the Second Member Conference
& the First Session of the Second Term Council of the China Chamber of Commerce for
Motorcycle, which was held in Beijing recently.
Jiang pointed out that the export volume of the Chinese motorcycle industry has been the number one
in the world for many consecutive years; if China wants to transform from a trade giant to a trade
superpower, every enterprise should follow the requirements of the Scientific Outlook on
Development and innovate its development ideas. Now that the export volume of the Chinese
motorcycle industry is the number one in the world, the China Chamber of Commerce for
Motorcycle should be the largest motorcycle organisation in the world as well. The Chinese
motorcycle industry should not only have the largest export volume but also have the most brands.
Currently, Africa is the largest market of the Chinese motorcycle industry. But the development
perspectives of the African markets are not promising due to the quality problems of the Chinese.jpg)
motorcycle products. Although many motorcycle products are considered as counterfeit products by
insiders of the Chinese motorcycle industry, they have the mark of 'made in China.' For this reason,
Jiang Yaoping required the Chamber to carry out an in-depth investigation on the root of those
counterfeit products. If the source of the counterfeit products was in China, the Chinese Government
will crack down those enterprises; if the source was in foreign countries, the Government will
ascertain where the responsibility lies based on the relevant international laws so as to protect the
interests of Chinese brands on the international market. He emphasised that African people are our
brothers, so we should not provide low-quality products to them.
Jiang Yaoping claimed that the Chinese motorcycle industry will face more and more trade friction
incidents and trade barriers in the future; the whole motorcycle industry will meet more difficulties in
the future. Therefore, it is very important for enterprises and even the whole industry to optimise the
industrial structure, improve the competitiveness of the products and implement the strategy of
success through quality.
Established in November of 2006, the China Chamber of Commerce for Motorcycle is a pilot
organization of the reform of the chamber of commerce under the Department of Commerce; it is the
first national chamber of commerce initiated and democratically elected by the enterprises in the
Chinese business field. At this conference, Chen Yongqiang, the General Manager of the China
Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation Motorcycle Division, was elected as the second President
of the China Chamber of Commerce for Motorcycle; Chen Bingnan served for another term as the
General Secretary of the Chamber; the former President Yin Mingshan was appointed as the
Honorary President of the Chamber.
