Core Viewpoint - The automotive industry is facing tightening conditions similar to the "three red lines" policy in the real estate sector, but the implications may be misunderstood due to the fundamental differences between the two industries [2][4][12]. Group 1: Impact of "Three Red Lines" on Real Estate - The "three red lines" policy introduced in 2020 aimed to curb excessive expansion in the real estate sector by imposing strict limits on debt levels, which significantly restricted funding sources for real estate companies [2][11]. - Companies that breach these lines face severe restrictions on new debt, leading to rapid financial distress and potential systemic risks [10][11].

Group 5: Market Dynamics and Competitive Landscape - The automotive market is characterized by overcapacity, with many companies having production capabilities that exceed actual sales, leading to inefficiencies [45]. - The ongoing price wars in the industry reflect both advancements in production efficiency and the risks of compromising safety and quality standards, highlighting the need for better regulation [50][51].
