Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has launched an online platform to address complaints from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) regarding payment delays by key automotive companies, aiming to ensure compliance with the 60-day payment commitment and the "Regulations on Guaranteeing Payment to SMEs" [1][2]. Group 1: Issues Addressed by the Online Platform - The platform will handle four main types of issues: 1. Key automotive companies failing to adhere to the 60-day payment commitment as stipulated in procurement contracts [2]. 2. Unreasonable payment terms set by key automotive companies, including delays in providing inspection or acceptance certificates, which effectively extend payment periods [2]. 3. Coercion or indirect coercion of SMEs to accept non-cash payment methods such as commercial bills or electronic receivables [2]. 4. Other issues related to the inadequate implementation of the "Regulations on Guaranteeing Payment to SMEs" by key automotive companies [2]. Group 2: Commitment from Automotive Companies - 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 [2][7]. - Some companies, such as BAIC and SAIC, have also pledged not to use commercial acceptance bills to alleviate financial pressure on suppliers [7]. Group 3: Regulatory Framework - The "Regulations on Guaranteeing Payment to SMEs" came into effect on June 1, 2023, mandating large enterprises to pay SMEs within 60 days of delivery unless otherwise agreed [5]. - The regulations prohibit the forced acceptance of non-cash payment methods and require clear contractual agreements regarding such methods [5][6]. - The regulations establish a complaint handling mechanism, requiring timely processing of complaints related to payment delays by large enterprises [6].
