The China South Industries Group Corporation (), also referred to as China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation (CSGC, ), operates as a state-owned enterprise in China specializing in the production of automobiles, motorcycles, firearms, vehicle components, and optical-electronic devices for both domestic consumption and international distribution.

History

Established in 1999 and headquartered in Beijing's Haidian District, CSGC serves as the parent organization of Changan Automobile.

In November 2020, the United States government imposed restrictions preventing American investors from owning shares in firms associated with the Chinese military, among which China South Industries Group Corporation was included.

The Chinese State Council declared in June 2025 a separation of CSGC’s automotive division. Following this change, Changan Automobile will operate as an independent central state-owned enterprise under the supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC). This corporate realignment results in Changan’s indirect controlling shareholder becoming the newly established central enterprise formed through the automotive business spin-off, while the ultimate controlling authority remains unchanged.
