Jilin Special: Changchun puts on its most ambitious auto event ever

A major automobile show in the city of Changchun - one of China's three most influential auto expositions - has shown the revitalization of the nation's auto manufacturing industry, the organizers are saying.

The theme of the eighth China Changchun International Automobile Expo, which ran July 15 to 24, was "new energy and new power".

And it was the largest in history, covering a 170,000-square-meter space, with 132 manufacturers of auto and auto parts from China and abroad taking part, and 1,036 vehicles on display.
