PETROLHEADS DESCENDED on China’s largest exhibition complex on April 21st for the opening of Auto Shanghai, the first big car show of the pandemic. Dozens of typical exhibitors, from Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac to Toyota and Kia, flaunted their latest models to China’s burgeoning consumer class. Yet the most popular booths, as judged by foot traffic, belong to a clutch of Chinese companies with little carmaking experience: Huawei, a telecoms giant; DJI, the world’s biggest drone-maker; and Evergrande, a property developer.
The newcomers aim to capitalise on China’s new thirst for electric vehicles (EVs). Last year 1.3m of them were sold in the country, accounting for two-fifths of the global total, estimates Canalys, a research firm. As part of its anti-pollution drive, China’s government wants every other new car sold to be an EV by 2035.

SHI International has reported a four percent year-on-year rise in revenues to $11.1 billion.
The “record-breaking” result was due to growth in its public sector division, which reported a turnover of $3 billion for the first time, marking a 16 per cent jump from the previous year. It now ranks alongside SHI divisions Enterprise/Global and Commerical as a $3 billion businesses for the reseller.
SHI CEO Thai Lee said: “For all the reasons that require no explanation, the past 12 months represent one of the most challenging professional years most of us will ever face. Yet throughout 2020, from our essential onsite employees to those balancing increased responsibilities and decreased bandwidth at home, our dedicated employees went above and beyond to provide customers world-class service when they most needed it.”
