·         Despite most CEOs or chairmen of companies having background in accounting, all but one of Dongfeng Motor Groups Chairman, Board of Directors and Presidents of the company have degrees in engineering.
·         Dongfeng Motor Group have a large amount of non-current and current assets compared to other students companies I have seen.
·         Dongfeng Motor Group has Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as well as Statement of Financial Position in its three annual reports I downloaded. Which I have found to have a huge difference between total assets on the two different statements.

·         Why is my company facing so many decreases in profits since 2011?
·         Do other China related businesses have decreases due to the Japan and China dispute?
