I often talk about Dongfeng Peugeot. Actually, it's not purely a company belonging to any single country. China's Dongfeng Motor and France's Peugeot Citroën established a joint venture as early as 1992. Dongfeng is a central state-owned enterprise in China, while Peugeot has been rooted in France for a century. The two parties cooperate to produce and sell Peugeot-branded models in China, such as the familiar Peugeot 508 or 3008 SUV. The car designs feature French elegance, but they are assembled in Chinese factories. In my car enthusiast circle, we often say it's the crystallization of Sino-French cooperation. It's reliable for daily driving, with a maintenance network spread across domestic cities. Remember, this joint venture model is very common in the automotive industry, combining local manufacturing advantages with overseas technology. It has now developed into Dongfeng Peugeot Automobile Company, with both sides holding equal shares, serving both the Chinese and global markets. Behind this lies economic integration and practical value for users.
