Chery first Chinese carmaker to surpass 5mil vehicle exports
In July 2025, Chery International Group achieved a historic "Double 500" milestone, emerging as the fastest-rising automaker on both the Fortune Global 500 and the Fortune China 500 lists for the second consecutive year, respectively.
The group now ranks 233rd globally, up from 385th in 2024 and 59th in China, up from 100th in 2024.
These achievements were driven by the Omoda/Jaecoo brand, whose values have resonated with customers in 44 markets across Asean, Europe, Australia and South America.
In just over two years, Omoda/Jaecoo has amassed a 37 per cent share of Chery International's total export volume, with cumulative global sales surpassing 570,000 units.
This remarkable performance also set a new record as the fastest emerging brand globally to exceed the half-million mark in sales.
Driven by a strong technological foundation, including the advanced Super Hybrid System (SHS), Omoda/Jaecoo models have also made significant strides in the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) category.
In the first quarter of this year, NEV models accounted for 13,023 units, a sharp rise from 2,325 units in the same period in 2024. In the first half of 2025, NEVs accounted for 40 per cent of total exports.
Omoda/Jaecoo's global momentum is equally evident in Europe, where it has become the fastest-growing Chinese automotive brand and the first ever to sell over 10,000 units in Spain within its first 11 months on the market.
In Malaysia, the brand has grown quickly after the Jaecoo J7 was launched in July 2024.
Its presence and popularity rose further with the OMODA C9 in December 2024 and the J7 PHEV in February 2025.
Exactly one year after introducing the J7, Omoda/Jaecoo Malaysia celebrated yet another key milestone with the July 2025 unveiling of its flagship J8 SUV.
The company also announced that more than 17,000 of its vehicles were now on Malaysian roads.
According to the Road Transport Department (JPJ), Omoda/Jaecoo remained among Malaysia's Top 5 automotive brands in the first half of 2025, making it the country's most successful Chinese marque.
Moving forward, Omoda/Jaecoo's global export strategy will focus on deeper investments in key markets across Europe, South America and Asean.

Swatch apologises, pulls ad in China over 'slanted eye' backlash
SHANGHAI: Swiss watchmaker Swatch has issued an apology and pulled ads featuring images of an Asian male model pulling the corners of his eyes up and backwards in a "slanted eye" pose. The images for the Swatch Essentials collection were widely condemned online in China, where many comments said they appeared to mimic racist taunts about Asian eyes. In an apology posted in both Chinese and English on its official account on the Weibo social media platform Saturday, Swatch said that it has "taken note of the recent concerns" and removed all related materials worldwide. "We sincerely apologise for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused," the statement said. It also posted the same apology on Instagram. Swatch Group did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further comment. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, is heavily exposed to China for revenue, with around 27 per cent of the group's sales last year coming from the China, Hong Kong and Macau region. Revenue for the watchmaker last year slumped 14.6 per cent to 6.74 billion Swiss francs (US$8.4 billion) in 2024, hit by a downturn in demand in China, where Swatch said it was seeing "persistently difficult market conditions and weak demand for consumer goods overall." --REUTERS

A factory town in crisis shows Japan's fading manufacturing era
OPPAMA, Japan: Nissan Motor Co.'s Oppama factory, opened in 1961, was once a crown jewel in Japan's postwar rise to manufacturing powerhouse. Today, it represents the dangers of being caught flatfooted in a rapidly changing industry. The factory, south of Tokyo, is set to shut by March 2028 - part of Nissan's wide-ranging restructuring after a slump in sales sparked its worst financial crisis since Renault SA rescued the carmaker from near bankruptcy a quarter century ago. Once synonymous with cutting-edge technology, Japan's legacy brands are struggling to adapt to changing consumer tastes, ceding market share to the likes of Tesla Inc. and a wave of Chinese upstarts led by BYD Co. That means whatever happens to Oppama - and the thousands of local residents that depend on it - will serve as a warning for Japanese manufacturers as intensifying competition sparks a painful period of consolidation that could pave the way for much-needed rejuvenation. It's also a new era for the Japanese economy, as a wave of bankruptcies among small and medium-sized firms across industries from transportation to technology challenges the idea of 'shushin koyo' - a job for life. Like any factory town, Nissan's ties run deep. It directly employs almost ten per cent of Oppama's 29,700 residents. Field trips to the plant are a rite of passage for local school children and the company revived its baseball team this year after a 16-year hiatus, though they lost in the semifinals to ultimate tournament winner Toshiba Corp. A victory would have provided a welcome distraction, said Yuji Fujita, the third-generation owner of a fresh produce store located in the shopping avenue that runs between Oppama's train station and the factory. He drew parallels with the shutdown of Nissan's Zama plant in 1995, which marked the first factory closure in Japan by any carmaker in the postwar period. "This is the worst case scenario,' said Fujita, whose family has owned around two dozen Nissan cars over the years. "It's impossible to know what will happen to us now.' His sentiment is echoed around town. It's not clear yet how many of the 2,400 people employed at Oppama will be transferred to a Nissan factory in Kyushu in the southwest, or when they will start their new roles. "The priority now is to figure out what options will be offered to existing employees,' said Keiichi Asakura, general secretary of the Nissan Motor Worker's Union. There's also uncertainty about what happens to the site that spans 1.7 million square metres - about half the size of New York's Central Park. Speculation has swirled among residents that it could be turned into a vacation resort or a theme park, or even used by the private defence industry. Nikkei reported in early July, before the announcement that Oppama will close, that Nissan is in talks with Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. - better known as Foxconn - over the site. Nissan Chief Executive Officer Ivan Espinosa has said he isn't considering contract manufacturing. And plans are complicated by the need to rewrite the town's civil laws to reflect a change in utilisation. Katsuaki Kamiji, the mayor of Yokosuka, the city where Oppama is located, said he spoke to Espinosa late last month to advocate for a future that provides ongoing employment for residents. "We urged him to take into account, as much as possible, the creation of jobs, the region's revitalisation and the growth of Yokosuka when weighing how the property will be utilised,' he said in an emailed statement. While the announcement that Oppama will close was a surprise for some, residents have known for some time that Nissan's fortunes were fading, said Nakao Habutsu, superintendent of the Oppama Administration Centre. In 2007, when it celebrated having produced 15 million vehicles, Oppama still made seven different models. In 2010, the town was given a fresh boost by the Leaf - the world's first mass-market all-electric car that was set to transform the automaker into a global leader in innovation. But Leaf production started to shift to the US and the UK in 2013. Now, Oppama makes just two models: the Note subcompact hatchback and the Aura, both for the domestic market. Tesla's offerings have usurped the Leaf as the best-selling EV in history. But it's the Chinese that have emerged as an industry superpower, offering sleek high-tech models at a variety of price points. Nissan's limited all-electric lineup is spearheaded by the Sakura, the Ariya and the Leaf, which is getting a makeover in the hope of lifting sales. The lack of blockbusters is core to Nissan's troubles, though Espinosa has said that once Oppama is shut there are no plans for further consolidation in Japan. All told, Nissan wants to reduce annual output to 2.5 million units from 3.5 million by consolidating production from 17 factories to 10, and will cut 20,000 jobs. The carmaker is likely to see ¥160 billion (US$1.1 billion) in impairments and restructuring charges this financial year, Chief Financial Officer Jeremie Papin said during an event hosted by Sanford C Bernstein. Espinosa has been firm that Nissan doesn't need a saviour to get it back on track. Talks to combine with Honda Motor Co. fell apart earlier this year, but its downturn attracted interest from Foxconn and KKR & Co. So far, it's the sprawling network of small, specialty-parts suppliers that have borne the brunt of the auto sector's challenges. There were 32 bankruptcies during the fiscal year that ended in March, the most in a decade, according to Teikoku Databank. There's likely more consolidation to come as companies that specialise in EVs, autonomous driving and high-efficiency engines thrive, while others look to attain that expertise through mergers and acquisitions, according to Satoru Shinozuka, an analyst at Teikoku Databank. "If they don't have the technology or the capital, it'll be difficult,' said Shinozuka. It's "survival of the fittest,' he said. - Bloomberg
