Definition of Chery automobile

Chery Automobile (in Chinese: 奇瑞汽车 or 奇瑞汽車; English pronunciation: [ˈʃɛɹiː]) is an automobile manufacturer in China. In Pinyin it is "Qirui" and its English transliteration should have been "Cheery" but there was a mistake in the transliteration process and it was decided by the company to not correct the error. It is owned by the local government of Wuhu (but is scheduled to be privatized), and sold about 305,000 vehicles in 2006. It is the largest independent Chinese auto manufacturer and one of the fastest growing automakers in the world.
