Foreign Minister Wang Yi has turned to a Hongqi H7 sedan as his official car, signaling that Chinese officials are setting their sights on national brands.

Wang's car was put into use on June 17, according to the ministry's official microblog. The Hongqi H7 sedan is a newly developed vehicle of the First Automobile Works Group Corp. based in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province.

Wang, 60, was appointed China's foreign minister in March.
