According to the growth of automobile production, automobile industry development strategy of the external environment and the basic characteristics of the changes in China's auto industry can be roughly divided into the development process into three stages.

The Start-Up Phase

China's auto industry started a national focus on investment through technology transfer and the all-round way to achieve, and its sign is the first automobile factory construction and production. After the founding of the lack of expertise in the domestic automotive, heavy industry, the Ministry decided to August 1950 the Soviet Union to hire experts to undertake the overall design of automobile manufacturers. In 1953, the national leaders personally driven the first automobile factory started. After a short period of three years, put into operation, to become China's first automobile production base. This holistic approach not only for the introduction of the FAW's building material and technical conditions, but also to learn and quickly master the Chinese automotive production technology, accumulated experience provides a shortcut. After the completion of the FAW, has developed four tons of Jiefang, 2.5 tons off-road, red cars and other products, and a certain production capacity (Acemoglu, Daron & Aghion, 2009, Pp.235-275).

During the Great Leap Forward in 1958 after nationwide enterprise decentralization, municipalities have used auto parts plants and auto repair shop imitation and assembly, to form China's automotive industry development in the history of the first "boom." 50 years are not, the rapid growth of China's auto manufacturers to 16, increased to 28 car tuning, car, truck production in particular, rapidly growing steadily, reaching the level of twenty thousand units. China auto industry of the local development initiative, on the one hand, a rich variety of automotive products in China, established a relatively complete truck production system (with light, medium, heavy-duty truck and a variety of special modified car production capacity), to meet the various needs of the national economy, has a positive effect. On the other hand, this period of serious investment in the automotive industry and waste dispersion, distribution confusion, duplication of the production of "small" abnormal pattern for the future development of the automotive industry has left a hidden danger. In addition, China's auto industry cannot form an independent research and development ability of new automotive products, parts and components industry is relatively weak.
