I doubt you'll do that but if it isn't ,doesn't look like it,bullshit I'm done with GM .
Im sure some of the facts are correct.. Who wouldnt wanna sell cars in China?
It didnt say how many cars were imported here, if any..
But the facts stand, the parts companies are now owned by china..
Cant we buy/own anything anymore??

I think it's old news and some kind of political propaganda .

The information is both correct and exaggerated at the same time:
Car sales in China are huge right now.
Cars imported into China are heavily taxed.
The best way to sell cars there (and not get screwed by import taxes) are to build them locally but to do that the companies have to 'team' with Chinese car builders.
Every car company is doing this. BMW, GM, Fiat (Chrysler), Toyota etc etc etc
But from what I have been reading they are saying that sales are starting to slow. Not surprising since there was no way the volume of sales could have stayed at the rate they were going. BTW the Chinese LOVE Buick. GM has been doing big numbers with that brand. Not surprising they going to move some R&D there to build cars that the Chinese would continue to want. From everything I've read its just a business move no different then when the Japanese and now the Korean car makers started selling in the US. Only difference is its US companies trying get some of the action.

Complain about money from jap cars going back to japan, but don't like GM selling cars in China a bringing money back here? Before you get all worked up about this - which is exactly what whoever did that video wants - stop and think for a minute. China is the world's largest car market and foreign makers have been there for years. GM would be stupid not to be into that market and I hope they sell a ton of cars over there. And no, it's not gonna be CM, don't be so gullible. Google "Ford in China" and "Chrysler in China" and find out they're doing the same thing as GM.....the *sshole who did the youtube forgot to say anything about that.
So what, if anything is actually made here, not just assembled? Not talking only GM either. Do we make anything?
Spin doctoring.
GM is building plants there to sell cars to the CHINESE!
They are splitting their R&D to focus on the new HUGE market.
GM builds 7 of 10 vehicles outside the US because they sell over half of their vehicles outside the US. It is the same reason Toyota and the others build their cars here. In 2011 GM sold 1.8 million of 4.7 million Chevys they made world wide in the US.
Come on Guys. Use your heads.

What do you expect? GM sells a ton of cars in China while everyone in the USA says what shit AMERICAN cars are. While toymotor, honda, nissan, etc. are the greatest thing ever. How long can you listen to that before saying f it, people in china like our cars we go there. We do nothing to help our own so I am not suprised...
We do nothing but ask for it faster, want it cheaper, don't ever want to put additional money into it for maintenance and get pissed when it breaks down.
Also don't forget that GM owns Opel (Europe) and Holden (Australia) who build cars. They add to the cars that GM builds outside of the US.
