The CCP does not dominate GM's future.
GM is NA centric where it remains a top seller competing with Toyota.
If GM was selling in EU this would be another matter.

The Chinese domination of GM's future couldn't be expressed in a more obvious way than in these posts. Certainly not in the best interests of the US employees or customers, the narrative espoused is plain to see.

If I had to choose my next vehicle from either BYD or GM, BYD all day long.

@n7
Thank you for the input Shen Yang.
I bet you wish the CCP could infiltrate America with cheap imports and crush the economy. In the business world, we call it "product dumping". Those who are paying attention can see what this initiative has done to Europe. Congratulations.
It's like a belt and road initiative for the naive.

Cars like BYD are very impressive.

I wish tariffs didn't keep them out.

SLT wants to point fingers at tariffs and not their poor strategy.

"tariffs"
Okay. Well, let's play along and assume that's true.
Why is an American company that supposedly makes cars in America with UAW union labor experiencing tariffs on China, Mexico and other nations?

The answer to this question is the retort to the "Buy American" rank and file.
Cars like Equinox, Trax and Trailblazer are not American. They are Asian.
Many of our trucks are Mexican. Sedans from Canada.
"Buy American"
Say it with a smile when you hear Gen Z complain that they can't afford a house or get a job with their college degree.
