5. In a bid to fast-track its electric vehicle strategy in an effort to curb pollution, the Chinese Government has called for comments on a proposal to invite foreign automakers to manufacturer in the country. Current laws are designed to protect local manufacturers by forcing foreign companies to partner with the local automakers.
