PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished with respect to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of China Auto Logistics Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “China Auto”) for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, on November 18, 2016 (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, at the offices of K&L Gates LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

The approximate date on which the Proxy Statement and form of proxy are intended to be sent or given to the stockholders is October 12, 2016. The proxy materials are also available free of charge on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, stockholders do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote. Instead, stockholders may simply complete, sign and return the proxy card, complete the proxy card online at www.proxyvote.com, or vote by telephone by dialing the toll-free telephone number located on the proxy card.

We will bear the expense of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement. We may request persons, and reimburse them for their expenses with respect thereto, who hold stock in their name or custody or in the names of nominees for others to forward copies of such materials to those persons for whom they hold Common Stock (as defined below) and to request authority for the execution of the proxies. In addition, some of our officers, directors and employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors personally or by mail, telephone or facsimile.

VOTING SECURITIES, VOTING AND PROXIES

Record Date

Only stockholders of record of our common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on September 23, 2016 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

Voting Stock

As of the Record Date, there were 4,034,394 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each holder of Common Stock on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share then held on the matter to be voted at the Annual Meeting. No other class of voting securities was then outstanding.

Quorum

The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, in person or by proxy, is required for a quorum. Should you submit a proxy, even though you abstain as to the proposal, or you are present in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares shall be counted for the purpose of determining if a quorum is present.

Broker “non-votes” are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Annual Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holder, such as a brokerage firm, bank or trust company, holding shares of record for a beneficial owner, does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee holder does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Voting

The election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of the proposal, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will have no effect on the outcome.

If you are the beneficial owner, but not the registered holder of shares of Common Stock, you cannot directly vote those shares at the Annual Meeting. You must provide voting instructions to your nominee holder, such as your brokerage firm or bank.

If you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting but you are not the record holder, you must obtain from your record holder a “legal proxy” issued in your name and bring it to the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, ballots will be distributed with respect to the proposal to each stockholder (or the stockholder’s proxy if not the management proxy holders) who is present and did not deliver a proxy to the management proxy holders or another person. The ballots shall then be tallied, one vote for each share owned of record, the votes being in three categories: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.”

Proxies

The form of proxy solicited by the Board of Directors affords you the ability to specify a choice among approval of, disapproval of, or abstention with respect to, the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by the proxy will be voted and, where the solicited stockholder indicates a choice with respect to the matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted as specified. If no choice is given, a properly executed proxy will be voted in favor of the proposal.

Revocability of Proxies

Even if you execute a proxy, you retain the right to revoke it and change your vote by notifying us at any time before your proxy is voted. Such revocation may be affected by execution of a later dated proxy, or by a written notice of revocation, sent to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer at the address of our principal office set forth above in the Notice to this Proxy Statement, or your attendance and voting at the Annual Meeting. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by the proxies, if received in time, will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein.

You are requested, regardless of the number of shares you own or your intention to attend the Annual Meeting, to sign the proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed envelope.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters To Be Acted Upon

None of the officers or directors has any interest in the matters to be acted upon.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, stockholders are not entitled to any appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Board is currently comprised of seven members. Vacancies on the Board may be filled by (a) a vote of a majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum is present, (b) the prior action of the directors, or (c) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the term of that director and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified. This includes vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors.

The Board has recommended for re-election Tong Shiping, Cheng Weihong, Wang Xinwei, Howard S. Barth and Yang Lili with Lv Fuqi and Bai Shaohua being recommended for election. Lv Fuqi and Bai Shaohua, were each appointed by the Board to fill vacancies and were each referred to the Board by the Company’s Senior Vice President, Cheng Weihong. If elected at the Annual Meeting, these directors would serve until the end of their respective terms and until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of Tong Shiping, Cheng Weihong, Wang Xinwei, Howard S. Barth, Lv Fuqi, Yang Lili and Bai Shaohua. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as the Board may propose. Each of Tong Shiping, Cheng Weihong, Wang Xinwei, Howard S.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accountants. Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Marcum LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on this item will be required for approval. Abstentions will be counted as represented and entitled to vote and will therefore have the effect of a negative vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL TWO.

In the event stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and the Board. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

PROPOSAL THREE

Background of the Proposal

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our stockholders are entitled to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the rules of the SEC.

At the Company’s 2013 annual meeting the Company’s stockholders approved a three year frequency for stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The say in frequency vote last occurred at the Company’s 2013 annual meeting and will be re-voted on at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting

Executive Compensation

We believe that our executive compensation programs, which are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, are designed to retain and incentivize the high quality executives whose efforts are key to our long-term success. Stockholders are encouraged to carefully review the “Executive Officers” section of this Proxy Statement for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation, including information about the fiscal year 2015 compensation of our named executive officers.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution at the annual meeting:

“ RESOLVED , that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which includes the compensation tables and related narrative discussion).”

Vote Required; Effect

Stockholder approval of this Proposal Three will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non votes will not be counted as votes cast and therefore will not affect the determination as to whether the advisory resolution regarding the Company’s compensation of executives is approved.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, whether expressed through this vote or otherwise, and, accordingly, the Board and Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL THREE.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Meetings and Certain Committees of the Board

The Board held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. An Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee were established in December of 2008. In fiscal year 2015, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held one meeting, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting. Each Director attended, either in person or telephonically, at least 75% of the aggregate Board of Directors meetings and meetings of committees on which he or she served during his or her tenure as a director or committee member.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Howard S. Barth (Chair), Bai Shaohua and Yang Lili, each of whom is independent as “independence” is currently defined in applicable SEC rules and an “independent director” as currently defined in applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board has determined that Howard S. Barth qualifies as an “Audit Committee financial expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Barth’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s corporate accounting, financial reporting practices, audits of financial statements and the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and reports. In addition, the Audit Committee oversees the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors. In furtherance of these responsibilities, the Audit Committee’s duties include the following: evaluating the performance of and assessing the qualifications of the independent auditors; determining and approving the engagement of the independent auditors to perform audit, reviewing and attesting to services and performing any proposed permissible non-audit services; evaluating employment by the Company of individuals formerly employed by the independent auditors and engaged on the Company’s account and any conflicts or disagreements between the independent auditors and management regarding financial reporting, accounting practices or policies; discussing with management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit; reviewing the financial statements proposed to be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K; discussing with management and the independent auditors the results of the auditors’ review of the Company’s quarterly financial statements; conferring with management and the independent auditors regarding the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of internal auditing and financial reporting controls and procedures; and establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting control and auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. The Audit Committee operates under the written Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board in December of 2008, a copy of which may be obtained by writing the Secretary of the Company at Floor 1 FTZ International Auto Mall, 86 Tianbao Avenue, Free Trade Zone, Tianjin Province, The People’s Republic of China 300461 and is available on the Company’s website at http://www.chinaautologisticsinc.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of the following Directors of the Company: Yang Lili (Chair), Lv Fuqi and Bai Shaohua, each of whom is independent as “independence” is currently defined in applicable SEC rules and an “independent director” as currently defined in applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, recommends to the Board’s policies, practices and procedures relating to the compensation of the officers and other managerial employees and the establishment and administration of employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee advises and consults with the officers of the Company as may be requested regarding managerial personnel policies and plays a crucial role in helping us to attract and retain talented employees by advising career development and management succession. The Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain advice and seek assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors, and has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to be used to evaluate director or officer compensation, including the authority to approve the consulting firm’s fee and retention terms. The Compensation Committee also has such additional powers as may be conferred upon it from time to time by the Board. The Compensation Committee operates under the written Compensation Committee Charter adopted by the Board in December of 2008, a copy of which may be obtained by writing the Secretary of the Company at Floor 1 FTZ International Auto Mall, 86 Tianbao Avenue, Free Trade Zone, Tianjin Province, The People’s Republic of China 300461 and is available on the Company’s website at http://www.chinaautologisticsinc.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) is currently comprised of Bai Shaohua (Chair), Yang Lili and Lv Fuqi each of whom is independent as “independence” is currently defined in applicable SEC rules and an “independent director” as currently defined in applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nominating Committee is responsible for preparing a list of candidates to fill the expiring terms of directors serving on our Board. The Nominating Committee submits the list of candidates to the Board who determines which candidates will be nominated to serve on the Board. The names of nominees are then submitted for election at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Nominating Committee also submits to the entire Board a list of nominees to fill any interim vacancies on the Board resulting from the departure of a member of the Board for any reason prior to the expiration of his term. In recommending nominees to the Board, the Nominating Committee keeps in mind the functions of this body. While there is no set of minimum requirements to be nominated as a director, the Nominating Committee considers various criteria, including general business experience, general financial experience, knowledge of the Company’s industry (including past industry experience), education, and demonstrated character and judgment. The Nominating Committee will consider director nominees recommended by a stockholder if the stockholder mails timely notice to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, which notice includes (i) the name, age and business address of such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation of such nominee, (iii) a brief statement as to such nominee’s qualifications, (iv) a statement that such nominee consents to his or her nomination and will serve as a director if elected, (v) whether such nominee meets the definition of an “independent” director under the applicable SEC rules and (vi) the name, address, class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company held by the nominating stockholder. Any person nominated by a stockholder for election to the Board will be evaluated based on the same criteria as all other nominees. The Nominating Committee also oversees our adherence to our corporate governance standards. Although not part of any formal policy, the goal of the Nominating Committee is a balanced and diverse Board, with members whose skills, viewpoint, background and experience complement each other and, together, contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole. The Nominating Committee operates under the written Nominating Committee Charter adopted by the Board in December of 2008, a copy of which may be obtained by writing the Secretary of the Company at Floor 1 FTZ International Auto Mall, 86 Tianbao Avenue, Free Trade Zone, Tianjin Province, The People’s Republic of China 300461 and is available on the Company’s website at http://www.chinaautologisticsinc.com.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, there were no changes to the procedures by which holders of our common stock may recommend nominees to the Board.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Chairman of the Board is also our Chief Executive Officer and President. We believe that by having this combined position, our Chief Executive Officer Chairman serves as a bridge between management and the Board, ensuring that both act with a common purpose. In addition, we believe that the combined position facilitates our focus on both long- and short- term strategies. Further, we believe that the advantages of having a Chief Executive Officer Chairman with extensive knowledge of our company, as opposed to a relatively less informed independent Chairman, outweigh potential disadvantages. Additionally, of our seven current Board members, four have been deemed to be independent by our Board. Accordingly, we believe that our majority of independent directors provides sufficient independent oversight of our management. We do not have a lead independent director.

We administer our risk oversight function through our Audit Committee as well as through our Board of Directors as a whole. Our Audit Committee is empowered to appoint and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, monitor the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls and provide an avenue of communication among our independent auditors, management, our internal auditing department and our Board of Directors.

Director Nominations and Independence

The nomination process involves a careful examination of the performance and qualifications of each incumbent director and potential nominees before deciding whether such person should be nominated. The Board believes that the business experience of its directors has been, and continues to be, critical to the Company’s success. While there are no minimum requirements to be nominated, directors should possess integrity, independence, energy, forthrightness, analytical skills and commitment to devote the necessary time and attention to the Company’s affairs. Directors must possess a willingness to challenge and stimulate management and the ability to work as part of a team in an environment of trust.

The Board will generally consider all relevant factors, including, among others, each nominee’s applicable expertise and demonstrated excellence in his or her field, the usefulness of such expertise to the Company, the availability of the nominee to devote sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company, the nominee’s reputation for personal integrity and ethics, and the nominee’s ability to exercise sound business judgment. Other relevant factors, including age and diversity of skills, will also be considered. Director nominees are reviewed in the context of the existing membership of the Board (including the qualities and skills of the existing directors), the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of its stockholders. Although not part of any formal policy, the goal is a balanced and diverse Board, with members whose skills, viewpoint, background and experience complement each other and, together, contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole. The Board uses its network of contacts when compiling a list of potential director candidates and may also engage outside consultants (such as professional search firms).

In addition, the Board reviews each nominee’s relationship with the Company in order to determine whether the nominee can be designated as independent. All members of the Company’s Board, excluding Tong Shiping, Cheng Weihong and Wang Xinwei, are independent directors of the Company, and as such, they satisfy the definition of independence in accordance with SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards.

Stockholder Communications

The Board welcomes communications from our stockholders, and maintains a process for stockholders to communicate with the Board. Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may send a letter to Sun Jiazhen, Secretary, at Floor 1 FTZ International Auto Mall, 86 Tianbao Avenue, Free Trade Zone, Tianjin Province, The People’s Republic of China 300461. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Stockholder-Board Communication.” All such letters should identify the author as a security holder.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, adopted December 12, 2008, contains a policy for the review of transactions in which the Company conducts business with a relative or significant other of a director, officer, or employee of the Company (a “Related Party Transaction”). A Related Party Transaction must be disclosed to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to determine whether or not it is material to the Company. In the event that a Related Party Transaction is determined to be material, it must be reviewed and approved in writing by the Audit Committee in advance of the consummation of such Related Party Transaction. Significant Related Party Transactions, including those involving the Company’s directors or executive officers, must be reviewed and approved in writing in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Ms. Cheng Weihong (Senior Vice President and Chairwoman of Shisheng and wife of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tong Shiping) made non-interest bearing loans to the Company from time to time to meet working capital needs of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company made aggregate borrowings from Ms. Cheng Weihong of $599,120 and $581,942, respectively, and made repayments of $454,280 and $726,321 to Ms. Cheng Weihong. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding balances due to Ms. Cheng Weihong were $722,028 and $457,628, respectively.

The Company’s former shareholder, Sino Peace Limited, paid certain accrued expenses in the previous years on behalf of the Company. The amounts of $2,093,182 and $2,213,280 were outstanding as payable related to prior years’ professional fees on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In January 2015, the Company received notification from an individual who claimed to be the owner of St. George International Limited ("St. George") and made a claim that the debt owed to Sino Peace by the Company had been transferred to St. George. However, the Company neither received any evidence to support such assignment nor any notification from the owner of Sino Peace that Sino Peace was transferring its legal right of collecting the receivable from the Company to St. George. The Company has been unable to locate the owner of Sino Peace to confirm such transfer and therefore considers such claim by St. George legally unbinding at this time .

The balances as discussed above as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are interest-free, unsecured and have no fixed term of repayment. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no imputed interest charged in relation to these balances.

On September 1 2015, the Company and Tongshang Kai Li (Tianjin) Automobile Import Export Company Limited (“Tongshang Kai Li”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Tongshang Kai Li advanced funds, at an annual interest rate of 15%, to the Company for the Company’s short term working capital needs until December 31, 2015; the expiration date of the Loan Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company borrowed a total of $1,457,982 which incurred interest of $148,534. As of December 31, 2015, there were no outstanding balances due to Tongshang Kai Li as all amounts were repaid.

Tongshang Kai Li is 51% owned by Tianjin Kai Li Xing Kong Real Property Limited Co. (“Tianjin Kai Li”), and 49% owned by Ningbo Tong Shang Rong Chuang Investment Limited Co.. Ms. Cheng Weihong, a Director and Senior Vice President of the Company, owns 99% of Tianjin Kai Li . Therefore, Ms. Cheng Weihong has a 50.49% of beneficial ownership in Tongshang Kai Li.

Mr. Tong Shiping and Ms. Cheng Weihong personally guarantee borrowings on various lines of credit related to our financing services and short-term borrowings.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s compensation program is designed to provide our executive officers with competitive remuneration and to reward their efforts and contributions to the Company. Elements of compensation for our executive officers include base salary and cash bonuses.

Before we set the base salary for our executive officers each year, we research the market compensation in Tianjin for executives in similar positions with similar qualifications and relevant experience, and add a 10%-15% premium as an incentive to attract and retain high-level employees. The Company has not utilized any compensation consultants in determining its compensation recommendations. Company performance does not play a significant role in the determination of base salary.

The Compensation Committee will also take into consideration the results of the Company’s stockholders vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers if the Company’s stockholders did not approve the proposed named executive compensation at the prior annual meeting.

Cash bonuses may also be awarded to our executives on a discretionary basis at any time. Cash bonuses are also awarded to executive officers upon the achievement of specified performance targets, including annual revenue targets for the Company.

The Company is able to attract and retain high-level employees by providing premium salaries and incentives such employees through the use of a cash bonus system.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and discussed that analysis with management. Based on its review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s 2016 Proxy Statement.
