The proposed deal could deepen ties between the two state-owned carmakers while offering policymakers a market-oriented model for restructuring the industry.

A long-discussed restructuring between state-owned carmakers China FAW Group Co. Ltd. and Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. Ltd. (GAC) (601238.SH) has shifted into a higher gear.

On Sept. 14, GAC disclosed that it had signed a letter of intent that day with FAW Co. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of FAW Group.
