China’s BYD has put out a call to action for compatriot car brands to step up on the world stage and “demolish the old legends” as it eyes further global proliferation.

Reuters is reporting that BYD Founder and Chairman Wang Chuanfu presented a video at a Chinese event earlier this week stating “the time has come for Chinese brands”.

“It’s an emotional need for the 1.4 billion Chinese people to see a Chinese brand becoming global,” he said.
