2. Renault's production of spring in China caused dissatisfaction with French trade unions.

Frank, spokesman of the French Labor Democratic Union (CFDT)? Da Huste said: "We strongly oppose the production of spring in China, which is inconsistent with the government's support for the automobile industry and French employment."

Later, in June, Renault received a state-supported loan of 5 billion euros (about 5.9 billion US dollars) and extracted a small part from it. But what about French President Emmanuel Macron? The premise of approving these government investments is that Renault agrees to negotiate with the trade unions on the future production plans of two French factories.

"It is unthinkable and irresponsible to produce these cars outside France," the alliance said in a statement.

Jean-Dominique, chairman of Renault? Senard) reminded French parliamentarian China of the possible threat of exporting electric vehicles: "We will face fierce competition inside and outside Europe. We must quickly adjust our strategy and confront these latecomers. "

Last week, Renault introduced Spring and a higher-end Megane? Vision. Renault will produce Megane at the factory in Douay, northern France. EVision is expected to be put into production at the end of 20021. (Source: Geshi Automobile? Gu Jiaojiao)
