On September 24, four Chinese government ministries (likely MIIT, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Transport, and State Administration for Market Regulation) convened a symposium with major manufacturers of trucks, buses, specialized vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meeting briefed attendees on the current vehicle product safety situation and deployed key tasks including product safety hazard investigations and supervision inspections. The meeting emphasized that recently, some automobile and motorcycle products have shown deficiencies in production consistency and testing verification, and even engaged in illegal modifications, 'large tonnage with small label' (overloading vehicles understated on paper), and 'large tank with small label' (tank capacity understated) violations. These behaviors endanger road traffic safety and damage the image of Chinese brands. The ministries urged all vehicle manufacturers to learn from these cases, firmly establish a 'safety first, quality foremost' philosophy, and take responsibility for ensuring product quality safety and protecting public safety and citizens' life and property.

September 24 — Four government departments have convened discussions with major manufacturers of trucks, buses, specialized vehicles, trailers, and motorcycles. The meetings aimed to brief the industry on the current vehicle product safety situation and to deploy key tasks related to product safety hazard inspections and oversight.
During the talks, it was emphasized that recently, certain automobile and motorcycle products have shown deficiencies in areas such as production consistency and testing verification. In some cases, illegal modifications and违规 practices—including "large tonnage with small labels" and "large tank with small labels"—have been identified. These violations pose risks to road traffic safety and damage the image of Chinese brands.
All automobile and motorcycle manufacturers were urged to take these issues as a warning, draw lessons from them, and firmly uphold the principle of "safety first, quality foremost." Companies were reminded of their responsibility to ensure product quality and safety, as well as to protect public safety and the lives and property of citizens.
