coastal city, where an industry chain of automobiles and auto parts will
come into being. Chery Auto is headquarted in eastern Chinese city of Wuhu,

ceremony in Dalian yesterday, urged the new factory to make and sell more
cars and expected Dalian to become a world-class auto-parts production base.
