Yu Chengdong published a series of remarks on Weibo, criticizing Chedi’s test results as unscientific and imprecise. He said that the reason why Huawei Auto ranked at the bottom was because the car-savvy emperor deliberately lowered the score to gain more traffic and attention.

However, the controversy between Huawei and Chedi did not end there. It is reported that in the next test, the car expert will change the test standards to adapt to the design and performance of Huawei cars. However, this measure did not satisfy Huawei car users and enthusiasts.

On Weibo, many users said they were very disappointed with the test results of the car. They believe that the test standards of Dingchedi are not fair enough and cannot reflect the true performance of Huawei cars.

Not only that, users and sales staff of Huawei cars also commented on Weibo to express their support for Huawei's decision. They believe that Huawei Auto does not rely on third-party organizations such as Dongchedi for testing and promotion, so stopping cooperation is the right decision.

The cessation of cooperation between Huawei and Chedi has not only triggered extensive discussions in the automotive industry, but also attracted attention from all walks of life. Many people believe that this incident reflects the current status and problems of China's automobile industry.

First of all, there are a large number of copycat brands and fake and shoddy products in China's automobile market. These brands and products often use low cost and low prices to attract consumers, but fail to provide high-quality products and services.

Secondly, China's automobile brands and products lack independent innovation and research and development capabilities. Many brands and products imitate and plagiarize foreign technologies and designs, lacking independent intellectual property rights and core technologies. Therefore, Chinese automobile brands and products are less competitive in the global market.

Finally, China's automobile industry lacks a fair and transparent testing and evaluation system. Many consumers and industry insiders believe that China's current automobile testing and evaluation system is opaque and unfair. As a result, many consumers and industry insiders are skeptical of Chinese car brands and products.

In short, the cessation of cooperation between Huawei and Chedi reflects the current status and problems of China's automobile industry. The future development direction should be to improve independent innovation and research and development capabilities, strengthen product quality and service improvements, and establish a fair and transparent testing and evaluation system. Only in this way can Chinese automobile brands and products gain more recognition and respect in the international market.
