The Volkswagen Group was the first German car manufacturer to be active in the Chinese market, becoming involved at a very early stage, and is represented there by two very successful joint ventures. Audi's good position in the Chinese market is the result of a successful partnership stretching back to 1989, initially taking the form of the joint-venture project with the Chinese First Automobile Works (FAW) to build the Audi 100, and Audi's inclusion in the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture for production of the Audi 200. These developments paved the way for the successful market entry of the Audi A6. The A6 is the first current premium-class model to be specifically modified for the Chinese market and built there. China is already one of AUDI AG's principal export markets. Audi products are now a common sight on roads all over the country. The Chinese government travels in cars of the Audi brand as its official government limousines. Audi is the market leader in China's premium segment.
