SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's annual major auto shows have become a showcase for the rise of ever-cheaper, better-performing electric vehicles and more confident local brands in the world's biggest market for cars. But the Shanghai auto show opened on Wednesday amid deep industry-wide uncertainty over how the U.S.-China trade war could dampen demand and scramble supply chains as 100 more models launch into an already crowded market with more losers than winners.
