In Brief

China's State Council and Commerce Ministry published documents supporting new auto market segments: tuning, motorsport, RV camping, and a classic car recognition system.

In early September 2026, Chinese authorities announced measures to support the automotive market. According to one source, on September 9 the State Council of the PRC published "Opinions on Promoting the Expansion and Upgrading of Commodity Consumption," instructing to develop the secondary car market and support new business formats, including car tuning, motorsport, and RV camping, as well as establishing a system for recognizing and managing classic cars.

Another source reports that the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC published a similarly titled document proposing to deepen reform of pilot projects for car circulation, remove unreasonable restrictions, and expand consumption across the entire chain. The document also supports the development of segments such as tuning, maintenance, motorsport, and RV camping, along with a classic car recognition system.

According to a journalist survey, consumption in the automotive market plays an important role in stimulating the upgrading of consumer spending, activating business, and transforming the auto industry.
