Dongfeng Motor Corporation is a Chinese state-owned automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Wuhan, China. Traditionally included as one of the "big 3" Chinese automakers, Dongfeng is currently in the top 4 along with Chang'an Motors, FAW Group, and SAIC Motor. As well as buses, trucks, and cars, it also manufactures parts and cooperates with foreign car makers. As of 2011 it has more Sino-foreign joint ventures than any other Chinese automaker.
It was the third-largest Chinese automaker in 2012 by production volume, and Dongfeng manufactured over 3.2 million whole vehicles this year with passenger cars comprising 87% of manufactures.

“This biplane is the shape of human flight.
Its name might better be First Motor Kite.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It’s important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It’s the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It’s the way we talk about and treat one another. It’s who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It’s a state of mind. It’s the way we live now.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
