The drive by foreign automakers to enter the Chinese market speaks for itself — increasingly in Mandarin.

It sometimes even sings — such as when Nicholas Speeks, a Briton who heads sales and marketing for Mercedes-Benz in 皇冠体育app, drew cheers on Monday by serenading a crowd at Auto 皇冠体育app in Beijing with the ballad Great 皇冠体育app.

"We have the same home, and its name is 皇冠体育app," Speeks crooned in Mandarin to applause at the company's booth at the show, which runs until May 4.

That was a day after the brand's new E-class car was unveiled to the tune of the Chinese classic song In the Field of Hope.

Participants joked that the country truly is "a field of hope" for Mercedes-Benz.
