Some time ago, some domestic reports pointed out that the contradictions between Brilliance and Chery continued, which was also the main reason for the resignation of Chery's senior management, a joint venture with Brilliance.
In this **, the executive accused Huaxia of "being too cooperative in launching the most basic flashing program, so that the assembly line operation was inefficient, which affected the delivery of products". However, another report pointed out that Chery did not take the initiative in the production of the Zhijie S7 in order to balance the competition between other models and Zhijie, resulting in insufficient production capacity of the Zhijie S7 and early shipment.
Chery then clarified that many rumors on the Internet are not true, that the work of the two companies is going well, and that the resignation of senior personnel is not due to cooperation. Huawei and Chery will continue to provide the S7 model in the future, and will increase their cooperation with both parties.
