In addition, Yuan Zhijun said that GM's current joint venture with SAIC and SAIC-GM-Wuling in the development of the Indian market is that GM's factory in India has its own car models. SAIC-GM-Wuling also sent a team to India for inspection. It should export commercial products. Vehicle technology is the mainstay, but the current staffing is not yet in place.

As for how to talk about the shareholders, it will continue according to legal procedures.
