I've been studying cars for several years. The joint venture of Mercedes-Benz in China is actually a cooperation with Beijing Automotive Group, specifically known as Beijing Benz Automotive Co., Ltd. This joint venture was established in 2005 and specializes in producing domestically manufactured Mercedes-Benz models, such as the C-Class, E-Class sedans, and GLC SUVs, all assembled in their factory. I know the background of this cooperation is that when Mercedes-Benz wanted to enter the Chinese market, they chose BAIC as their local partner. This allows them to better utilize the domestic supply chain, reduce costs, while ensuring stable vehicle quality. As a car enthusiast, I think this cooperation has been quite successful, making luxury cars more affordable for Chinese consumers. From a manufacturing perspective, their factory is located in Beijing with high technical standards. I've also read some reports about their strict quality control, which helps enhance the brand's reputation. In summary, Beijing Benz is one of the leaders of German cars in China, promoting the development of the local automotive industry.
