In the southern city of Guangzhou where the japanese automakers Toyota, Honda and Nissan all have joint ventures with chinese partners – the local government has, in fact, plan to re-introduce subsidies to encourage people to buy electric vehicles.

While the city of Xiangtan, a city of 3 million people in the southern province of Hunan, will offer to the people of 3,000 yuan ($ 429) in cash if you buy cars produced locally by Geely.

car sales in China, the largest automotive market in the world, are in decline for two years and now they are even more at risk: in January fell 18.7% compared to the previous year, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) provides that declines in the production and sales of cars will be the most significant in February due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

And there will also be subsidies to offset the expenses of marketing of the automobile companies. The battle to contain the decline in sales has just begun.
