How long can new cars continue to be exported in the name of second-hand cars and a summary of China’s car exports in 2023

         Before talking about the export of new cars in the name of second-hand, one thing that cannot be avoided is "parallel imported cars". Why is this?

         First of all, we must understand what parallel import is. I made a conceptual discussion of this concept in 2016 when the official vaguely provided parallel import of cars: Parallel import is the freest trade method in international trade, including Import and export are based on the principle of exhaustion of rights and are different from trade under authorization and the theory of comparative advantage. They are the fastest and most effective method to smooth out regional differences and authorization monopoly under the market economy. Internationally, there is only "parallel import" but not "parallel export" because "parallel import" includes "parallel export". This type of trade includes not only cars, but also products such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

         Secondly, we have to say that parallel imports have been a trade method for a long time. It can be said that with international trade, there have been parallel imports. Even the beginning of international trade was parallel imports. Therefore, after the Sino-US trade war and the emergence of National VI and other policies in 2018, there was a "cliff" for parallel imported cars. Many people said that parallel imported cars are a phased product, which is actually a cognitive barrier.

         Thirdly, our current export of second-hand cars, especially "new cars exported in the name of second-hand cars", is also called parallel export. In fact, for the importing country, this is a parallel import of cars. The only difference is the "direction". This is also relative.

         Finally, it must be emphasized that the export of new cars in the name of second-hand is a parallel export, and it is also the export of second-hand cars. This type of export will always exist, but the biggest feature is uncertainty. The reasons include market, politics, and policies. , even man-made. The only way to survive and develop amid uncertainty is through "high profits" in a seller's market and "platformization" in a buyer's market.

         More second-hand car exporters are welcome to join "Xi'an Parallel Export Automobile Trading Co., Ltd." with "49" shareholders, and go overseas together to form comparative advantages, reduce costs and ensure the safety of customers and funds.
