At noon today, Li Xiang, Chairman and CEO of Li Auto, made contentious remarks on his WeChat Moments. He likened certain automakers to "Japanese puppet forces," a statement widely interpreted as a direct challenge to Dongfeng Nissan. In response, Wang Qian, General Manager of Dongfeng Nissan's new energy brand, emphasized that Dongfeng Nissan consistently adheres to industry norms, promotes healthy competition, and shows respect for all competitors. Earlier, Li Xiang posted on his WeChat Moments, initially stating, "Puppet forces can often be more troublesome than the invaders themselves." He then explicitly accused a particular Japanese brand of employing marketing accounts to disparage Li Auto's products and using paid online commentators to spread false information, thereby disrupting Li Auto's normal business operations. He indicated his intention to take legal action to safeguard his rights and expressed the hope that relevant authorities would step in to prevent overseas brands from undermining the achievements of the anti-price-war efforts and the overall market environment in the automotive industry.
