　　Recently, during the 4th China International Consumer Goods Expo, the opening ceremony of the first station of the National Consumer Goods Trade in Journey, Hainan Station, was held. Wang Du, Vice President of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, stated that "exchanging old for new" will bring multiple opportunities to the automotive industry. By giving consumers the right to choose the market, the automotive industry can be accelerated to form new productive forces and move towards high-quality development.

　　Wang Du believes that "exchanging old for new" will promote structural adjustment of the automotive market. The government adheres to the concept of "policy guidance, market orientation, and participation from all parties", and focuses on scrapping and updating policies. It maximizes the use of limited funds to meet more consumer needs. At the same time, it leverages market mechanisms to enable local governments, car brand manufacturers, and new and used car dealers to work together organically, leverage their respective advantages, and provide consumers with richer and more comprehensive new products and services, allowing more scrapped cars to flow into formal scrapping channels, promoting the green development of the automotive industry chain and the development of circular economy.
