Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched an online feedback window to address issues related to payment cycles for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by key automotive companies, aiming to ensure compliance with the 60-day payment commitment and the implementation of the "Regulations on Ensuring Payment to SMEs" [1][3]. Group 1: Issues Addressed - The feedback window will handle four main types of issues: 1. Key automotive companies failing to adhere to the 60-day payment commitment, with payment terms exceeding this period in procurement contracts [1]. 2. Unreasonable payment term start dates set by key automotive companies, delays in providing inspection or acceptance certificates, and conditions tied to third-party payments [1]. 3. Coercion or indirect coercion of SMEs to accept non-cash payment methods such as commercial bills or electronic receivables [1]. 4. Other issues related to the inadequate implementation of the "Regulations on Ensuring Payment to SMEs" by key automotive companies [1]. Group 2: Industry Response and Future Actions - Seventeen key automotive companies, including FAW, Dongfeng, and GAC, have publicly committed to ensuring that supplier payment periods do not exceed 60 days, receiving positive social feedback [3]. - The Ministry aims to improve management processes and payment methods among key automotive companies through this initiative, enhancing the confidence and vitality of SMEs in the automotive industry [3][4]. - Future actions include guiding industry organizations to develop payment settlement norms for the automotive sector and promoting standardized contract templates to streamline payment processes [3][4]. Group 3: Importance of Supply Chain - The supply chain is described as the "lifeblood" of the automotive industry, crucial for industrial transformation and upgrading [4]. - Increasing competition in the new energy vehicle market has led to longer payment cycles and financial difficulties for suppliers, which could hinder technological innovation and sustainable development [4]. - The Ministry supports automotive companies in fulfilling their commitments and encourages the establishment of stable long-term relationships between large and small enterprises to enhance supply chain resilience and security [4].
