Following He Xiaopeng and Yu Chengdong, Ideal Auto CEO Li Xiang also expressed his opinion on the recent automotive supply chain issues.

On April 19, Li Xiang issued a message in the circle of friends, calling on car companies to analyze and investigate the survival problems of small and medium-sized parts suppliers in advance, and provide timely assistance.

Li Xiang said: "In this round of the Omicron epidemic, all automobile brands in addition to solving their own immediate parts supply problems, but also do a special management work: analyze in advance the small and medium-sized parts suppliers that you never need to manage, including three, four and five levels, and their survival in this epidemic." In short, by analyzing and screening ahead of time, and working with tier 1 and 2 suppliers, those supported by this assistance will act decisively."

Because the automotive products themselves are highly complex, their supply chains are long and complex, and there are often a large number of lower-level suppliers behind the suppliers. Among them, the first and second tier suppliers are generally automotive system suppliers and assembly suppliers, such as Bosch, Continental and other multinational giants, and the third and fourth tier suppliers are automotive parts and components suppliers, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises.
