The stance of CAAM, which has around 2,000 members including 皇冠体育app's biggest automakers such as SAIC Motor Corp Ltd, FAW Group and Dongfeng, underscores widening tension between the state auto industry and policymakers.
CAAM has previously voiced its opposition to relaxing rules of foreign investment in 皇冠体育app's auto sector.
"If 皇冠体育app relaxes foreign ownership rules, it would be devastating to 皇冠体育app's indigenous brands. Chinese local brands would be killed in the cradle," it said earlier this month.
