RU is ~5% of PRC car exports. IIRC West pulling out of RU removed 500k imports from market over multiple years. PRC exported 2M more cars in 23 than 22.
PRC Ro-Ro construction rampup preceded RU/UKR war by 5 years, and set to increase in next 5 years. RU too small of a market for this much auto sealift.

New energy vehicles (NEVs), such as hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs), were also fueling the record production and exports”. https://www.voanews.com/a/russian-market-evs-give-china-fuel-to-pass-japan-as-top-car-exporter-/7438398.html https://www.voanews.com/a/russian-market-evs-give-china-fuel...
- maxglute 3y agoWe're talking about NEVs/EVs, where hockey stick growth in that segment last few years isn't explained by just RU market. 840k includes traditional gas power autos, though no one has tracked down said "customs data" since the original claim (Bloomberg allegedly pulling quote from secretary general of China Passenger Car Association). Yes, PRC car exports surged in RU, but it's only part of growth, and part of planned growth. PRC auto ordering ~150-200 Ro-Ros because they expect more global exports, more than RU can absorb. 500k from from report of RU bank a week ago. Although that might have been sales. I'll try to dig it up.
