Bloomberg reports China's regulators are launching a one-year safety review, including unannounced factory inspections, after Chinese carmakers cut new-model development to about 18 months (from roughly 2 years). Regulators also want road-test distance for new-energy vehicles doubled to 30,000 km, and a large recall of over 4.27 million EVs over door-handle rules is under way. For a Thai business, this matters mainly if you import, sell or service Chinese-brand cars or parts: expect possible recalls, parts delays and tighter certification, and check warranty and spare-parts supply before stocking new Chinese models.
