Organizers of the Beijing and Shanghai international auto shows have agreed to maintain a biennial alternating schedule to prevent industry resource overlap. 

Under this framework, the Beijing Auto Show will occur in even-numbered years, while the Shanghai Auto Show will take place in odd-numbered years. To manage the 2027 calendar, the Beijing event scheduled for March 27 to April 5, 2027, will transition to a “professional themed exhibition” rather than a general show, ensuring it does not conflict with the 22nd Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition set for April 23 to May 2, 2027.
