Pan Qing, a member of the board of management of Jaguar Land Rover and executive director of Jaguar Land Rover China

As the UK's largest automotive manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover welcomes China's pledge to further open up its markets. This means greater market access and huge potential.

China's auto industry has emerged as the world's largest automobile market over the past four decades thanks to the opening-up and reform.

Jaguar Land Rover witnessed, participated in, contributed and benefited from reform and opening-up. Today, China has become Jaguar Land Rover's No 1 single-country market. The introduction of a total of 37 product variants in 15 series and cumulative sales of 800,000 units in eight years shows Jaguar Land Rover's deep commitment to China.

We believe China's firm support to trade liberalization and economic globalization will further boost the confidence of global auto OEMs, thus driving the innovation and technology upgrade in the auto industry. This move will ultimately benefit Chinese consumers and lead the auto industry to a new era of prosperity.

With a "Dual Power, Dual Innovation" future mobility strategy, Jaguar Land Rover will accelerate our local innovations by collaboration with leading Chinese technical partners and leveraging our global resource and innovation capability. By advancing the opportunities arising from the new round of opening-up, Jaguar Land Rover is striving to transform China into our innovation hub.
