Taking control of the SAIC-GM joint venture with an absolute holding of 51%.

After taking control of SAIC-GM, this joint venture itself has a very good technology accumulation. SAIC tricked it out in some way, and later used it for its own brands Roewe and MG. Therefore, after entering 2017, the 1.5T power performance of Roewe and MG was very impressive.
