Recently, online rumors have circulated, alleging that 'the 408th batch announcement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is set to remove eight automakers—including FAW Xiali, Brilliance Auto's in-house brand, and Zotye—from its list, permanently invalidating their vehicle manufacturing qualifications.' However, a reporter's inquiry with the MIIT has confirmed that this information is untrue. Among the eight companies named in these rumors, only the former FAW Xiali had its manufacturing permit revoked years ago. The other seven companies have experienced cancellations or proposed cancellations of certain individual production sites, but their overall vehicle manufacturing qualifications remain intact.
