China Association of Automobile Manufacturers

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (中国汽车工业协会), abbreviated as CAAM, is a non-profit social organization providing policy research and data for China's automotive industry.[1][2] The organization is one of the selected associations by the Chinese government in national economic policy making.[3] It is regulated by China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.[1]

History and structure

CAAM was founded in May 1987 with approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.[4] CAAM's structure is typical of an industrial association owned by its members, composing of automakers mostly from state-owned enterprises. The management of the organization is appointed by the Chinese government.[5] The Member's Representative Assembly is CAAM's highest authority with about 2000 members. It includes a board, a Secretariat, and 12 departments, 24 product-oriented branches, and one branch for other things.[4]

Amid the United States–China trade war, CAAM had launched its anti-discriminatory investigation against US trade policy concerning semiconductor chips beginning in 2025.[6]
