Legacy foreign automakers once held the keys to China's car market, but the 2026 Beijing Auto Show reveals a dramatic power shift. From onboard cinemas to built-in toilets, domestic EV makers are winning over consumers with rapid-fire tech innovation and aggressive pricing. From the show floor in Beijing, Bloomberg's Stephen Engle finds that as Western brands scramble to partner with local rivals to survive, China is now firmly in the driver's seat.

The collectible car market is accelerating, fueled by rising demand for so-called modern classic supercars from brands including Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti. Broad Arrow is capitalizing on that momentum. The auction house delivered more than 624-million dollars in total sales last year and expects to generate more than 100-million dollars next week at its Amelia Island auction.  Kenneth Ahn, President of Broad Arrow Auctions, joined Bloomberg Open Interest to talk about the market.
