MIIT Reports Progress on Shortening Auto Supplier Payment Cycles, Says Some Firms Still Extend Them

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on July 27 held a media briefing to report on efforts to push major auto companies to shorten payment cycles for suppliers. The ministry noted that a few companies still have disguised extensions, such as delayed start dates and non-standard management. To strengthen oversight, MIIT appointed 20 journalists as the first batch of 'supervisors' for the industry's payment-cycle issues. Next, MIIT will accelerate the compilation of payment guidelines, step up supervision, and enforce laws to protect supplier firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
