Recently, executives of many well-known car companies, including Weilai, Geely and Xiaopeng, have spoken out and publicly boycotted the weekly car sales list. Ma Lin, assistant vice president of brand and communication at Weilai, said that the company's senior management has made it clear that they do not want to engage in low-level internal competition, and the weekly sales list just reflects this phenomenon of low-level internal competition. He also called on Li Xiang, the founder of Ideal Auto, to stop this behavior on social media, emphasizing that the main task of Chinese auto companies is to develop new technologies and achieve technological breakthroughs. At the same time, Geely's vice president expressed the same view and opposed the release of the weekly sales list. He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, also criticized Chinese technology companies at a press conference for still focusing on short-term interests instead of pursuing long-term technological innovation. Li Xiang, the founder of Ideal Auto, responded to the incident by sharing an illustration of a fable.
