"I have not heard of any discussions about dealer networks with Chrysler," said the Chery spokesman.
He declined to discuss the current status of Chery's plan to sell China-made compact cars in the Americas under the Chrysler badge.
Chery Chairman Yin Tongyao said in April that the company aimed to begin exporting its A1 compact car to South America before the end of this year.
