In recent years, Chinese cars have increasingly appeared on streets around the world — from Cairo to Jakarta, from the Pamir Plateau to the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. Behind this phenomenon lies not only the global expansion of Chinese automakers, but also the quiet yet powerful rise of Chinese used-car exporters.

In May 2019, China’s Ministry of Commerce and other agencies jointly issued a policy to support used-car export pilot programs in 10 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. By February 2024, new regulations extended the policy nationwide, expanding the number of registered exporters from 400 to 2,800 — fueling explosive growth in export volumes.

Today, China’s used-car export industry is evolving from a trade-driven model to an industry-driven one. Companies are no longer simple traders — they are becoming integrators of the automotive value chain, creating new business models and global partnerships.

In June 2025, Huazhicheng Automobile Sales & Service Co., Ltd., one of China’s leading used-car traders, established its Hangzhou branch in the Qiantang District, marking another milestone in the company’s global strategy. General Manager Qi Jinlong shared insights on the company’s latest progress and international cooperation opportunities.

Current Strategic Focus

Under supportive national policies, China’s used-car export industry has entered a phase of rapid growth and structural transformation, contributing to the rising global recognition of Chinese auto brands.

According to General Manager Qi Jinlong,

“With the domestic used-car inventory expanding, our current strategic priority is to export retired domestic vehicles to markets with strong mobility demand and limited purchasing power — particularly across Africa and other emerging economies.”

• Seeking partnerships with foreign used-car retailers and local distributors to expand direct sales channels targeting overseas end consumers (C-end).

Collaboration Opportunities:

• Providing funding support, cross-border logistics, and vehicle sourcing services for Chinese used-car exporters.
