SHANGHAI -- One of the world's largest auto industry exhibitions got underway on Monday in Shanghai, highlighted by electric vehicles from newcomers in China.

About 1 million people are expected to visit Auto Shanghai 2021, officially known as the 19th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, even as many major global events have been suspended or downsized due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
