Mitchell.
Having said that I feel on Tuesday, I am optimistic about 2023.
Hey, Jason was due to the following reasons.
Actually if you look at the auto industry. It has been a pillar industry in China and also the government attach great importance to this industry.
The 2023.
In January we see councils can you come at the meeting.
Matt.
To address the conflict about supplying.
The demand of the consumers and to try to push forward to consumption and.
All of the consumption as one of the pillar to boost the economy.
Me too.
And then a lot of consumption policy.
To be implemented to booster the auto consumption.
We also need to boost the marketing and the expenditure for the all kinds of consumption the retail business and also try to boost the retail business to recover.
No.
These policies has the release due to the general <unk> and.
Standing committee of the state concept.

But yes.
That will be a great GBM.
GBM is higher than our machines.
Shanghai.
Okay.
But if you can do that.
And also on Tuesday, although the national subsidy has been taken away temporarily.
Conventional level the government local government launched a lot of new initiatives to boost consumption for example, in Shanghai, and Hunan Province, and continued to trade in subsidy for the <unk> card <unk>.
She province.
College, some seating to boost.
On the subsidy and also too deep into the trade and potential to push through the consumption.
Also with the abandoned after the other.
The current policy.
We believe that to the auto show will also recover.
And a lot of the new car models gradually been launched into the market.
This way, we believe the auto consumption market would it be pushed forward.
Similarly.
Turning to achieve.
Michelle are there some vehicles back on <unk>.

Paul even me from National subsidy has faded away.
Now a lot of our new policies to boosted the ink consumption. When you believe you'll be market would it be policy driven transforming into a marketing driven market. In this way, we believe that may be in that.
Near term or short term maybe.
Maybe it slowed down.
Yes.
We believe the year round.
With continued to be around 40%.
We do believe that there are more divergence in the market.
Top players.
Although such divergent.

Your question by quoting.
Why are you asking this question as you know in terms of January .
I have noticed that some of the data of the production in the Marcellus has already been released if we continue the production and the sales with the same period of last year. The number has been dropping significantly that's also true of comparing with the previous months.
I think you know what two reasons tied to that so the first reason is because the long holidays. The Chinese Spring Festival was on generally the second reason is because the favorable policy and the subsidy for the combustion kind of underscore the adv.
Our policy has been fading away at the end of last year.

It has somewhat generic user youll see those little wasteful.
Shang waiver so.
Hi.
Well, having said that I still want to say I'm optimistic about 2023.
This was due to the following reasons actually if you look at the auto industry. It has been a pillar industry in China and also the government attach great importance to this industry.
The 2020, we generally state Council standing Committee meeting.
That we need to address the conflict about supplying satisfying the demand of the consumers and to try to push forward to consumption.
Auto consumption one of the pillar to boost to the economy and we also need to.
A lot of our consumption policy to be implemented to booster the auto consumption and we also need to boost the marketing and the expenditure for the all kinds of consumption that retail business and also try to boost the retail business to recover.
These policies has the release due to the general release, maybe standing committee of the State Council.

Effectively on the subsidy and also too deep into the trade and potential to boosted the consumption.
Also with the abandoned after.
