I suspect Chinese car makers will have to move manufacturing out of China if they want to sell more cars in other countries as that will be what is required to get real in-roads to those countries. Indonesia is potentially a huge market but they won’t be that happy if all the they gain is the car being imported and the payment exported.
You can always gain some access to a market by not being a big local player but if you really want to expand, expect the gov’t to want to know that your planned investment is in the local economy.
I don’t believe the Japanese car makers wanted to produce cars in the US as much as they were enticed to so they wouldn’t be looked at as taking away US jobs.
