MJ..Does anyone know what SAIC stands for in China.".... SAIC Group (Chinese: ??; pinyin: Shàngqì) (officially Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group)) (simplified Chinese: ??????(??)???; traditional Chinese: ??????(??)???; pinyin: Shànghai qìche gongyè (jítuán) zonggongsi) is a Chinese government-owned automotive company. It is one of the "Big Four" Chinese automakers (along with Chang'an Motors, FAW Group, and Dongfeng Motor)[6] and in 2010 produced 3.58 million units, the largest output of any Chinese manufacturer.[7] SAIC's origins date to the early years of the Chinese automobile industry in the 1940s, and it was one of the few carmakers in Mao's China, making the Shanghai SH760 for government officials not important enough to warrant a FAW Hong Qi.[8] SAIC participates in the oldest surviving Sino-foreign car making joint venture, with Volkswagen, and has also had a joint venture with General Motors since 1998. SAIC products sell under a variety of brand names including those of its joint venture partners. The company boasts one of the few domestic Chinese luxury car brands, Roewe.
