As part of the Contemporary China Studies Program‘s ‘China’s Institutions’ course, CCSP students visited BAIC group, a Chinese state-owned enterprise that was recently ranked 137th among the Global Fortune 500 companies of “Fortune” Magazine. BAIC group is a leader in the automotive sector of new energy vehicles.

Our students were welcomed to the company’s Research and Development Base and were given a presentation on how BAIC group is trying to address environmental issues. During the visit, students also had the chance to walk around the showroom and take a look at the company’s most recent models of electric vehicles, including a prototype that will be on the market by 2020.
