On the other hand, why should GM not be in the largest auto market in the world? The total sales of cars in China is larger than in the USA. Why shouldn't GM be there? And to build them where the market is has always been part of GM strategy who has had overseas plants since 1920.

From a business point I can't see the problem. But from an protectionist American way, sure. But that view will not protect America. Global trade is what makes the economy spin, and market profit is what give our pensionfunds value. Don't forget that!

I have to agree.

Are we jumping to conclusions here? Every OEM (not just big 3) wants part of the China market as it is an emerging market. That's a bad thing because GM wants part of the action? Where did it say they are transferring all the jobs to China??? In the video it says they are diversifying, not transferring.

Here's a news flash. While a little slower to enter the game, Ford is doing the same thing. I'm certainly for Made in the USA. But to me that video is basically an anti China video more than a GM video. Do I want our American companies to be part of the huge growth in that market so they can make money off them? Why not? Is it much different from what Toyota is doing here?
