On September 8, 2016, the Ministry of Finance named five typical problematic enterprises in a notice on the special inspection of subsidies for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles: GMC, Suzhou Kinglong, Wuzhoulong, Chery Wanda, and Shaolin Bus. Among them, Suzhou Kinglong violated regulations by selling 1,683 new energy vehicles and 520 million yuan in subsidies in 2015, becoming the "subsidy fraudster" with the highest number of illegal vehicles and the highest amount of money. The notice stated that the 520 million yuan in state subsidies would be withdrawn, and Suzhou Kinglong would be fined 260 million yuan.^[3]
