Japanese Car Industry’s Influence Car Industry in Mainland China
The greater east Asia co-prosperity sphere refers to the concept created by the Japanese empire to occupy Asian populations from 1930-1945. The concept promoted by the Japanese was an expansionist program to create a Greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere for Asians. Through the greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere, Japan was able to occupy various regions across the Southeast area, including parts of China, Korea, and other areas. The occupation of the Japanese empire led to the transfer of technology to the occupied regions (Davidann, 2016). In China, for instance, the automotive industry in China was greatly influenced by the Japanese car industry. China did not produce motor vehicles until 1956; however, there were a small number of cars that were assembled in the country during the Japanese occupation in the 1940s in the military camps. The Japanese car assemblies in china formed the basis of the Chinese automotive industry that flourished in the 1970s to date.

The Chinese motor industry originated from the writings of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen in the 1920s; the vision, however, became a reality in 1953. The earliest car assembly to develop vehicles in china was First Auto Works (FAW) car assembly in 1956 (Arnold, 2003). In the early days of there was a high demand for trucks; however, the government set economic reforms that increased the demand for vehicles of all kinds in the 1970s during the Maoist era. The economic reforms in the country led to an enormous demand for vehicles of all types and pressure to the motor vehicle industry that was only able to produce a small number of vehicles per year.
