On August 18, Li Yunfei, General Manager of Brand and Public Relations at BYD Group, posted a video on Weibo stating that BYD is a global strategic partner of Wing Chun. The reason for choosing Wing Chun is that BYD and Wing Chun share common values. "Wing Chun is a martial arts school that emphasizes defense and does not initiate attacks. We at BYD are the same - we focus on our own development and never actively target our peers."
Li Yunfei mentioned that at this year's shareholder meeting, Wang Chuanfu said, "Not criticizing competitors is our principle. Healthy competition can drive industry progress. Malicious disparagement only harms the entire industry ecosystem."
He emphasized, "Wing Chun alone cannot make the martial arts world, BYD alone cannot make Chinese automobiles."
Li Yunfei issued an appeal to all BYD fans: "If you truly love BYD and appreciate our products and technology, then let us together become catalysts for the upward development of Chinese brands, avoiding meaningless online disputes. At the same time, protect yourselves. The Chinese automotive market is vast, and the global automotive market is even larger - it can accommodate a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred ships setting sail."
"We hope everyone can together applaud and cheer for other Chinese brands that are dedicated to researching technology and seriously manufacturing cars," he said.
