Changan auto exec envisions global market

Changan Automobile is accelerating its steps to go global as the Chongqing-based automaker sees overseas markets a "major engine" of its growth in the following years.

The company will first expand its sales in emerging countries such as Russia and Azerbaijan and then eventually enter the European and the US markets, said Zhu Huarong, vice-president of the automaker.

Zhu also hopes the government will make it easier for those who work at State-owned companies like Changan to deal with overseas business.
