[opAir01]

sad to say amerian cars sux.

wonder why chinese is interested in american brands?

nice pretty models ...

Boycott GM. Let it burn. Americans are not buying that crap, why should Chinese be stupid and buy it.

[cismok]

Because most GM cars built in China are based on design from GM's European subsidy Opel and some from Daewoo. Ford is the same too.That's why most cars parts for GM, Ford imported from Europe and assembled with local parts into a GM or Ford cars. Chrysler is rare example of failure of US car company because it hasn't really focused on Chinese market, even intend to cease 20 yrs' production in Beijing plant with Daimler. And don't forget Honda, Toyota and VW sell well in China as well

GM is going to sell out..... just watch....

Detroit got shanghaied by Shanghai.

A rising middle class wants a powerful car, so don't be surprised when Hummers start plowing the streets of Beijing.

China will be greatest nation on earth! The good news is that China comes in peace, not war like the US or UK.

[truthscavenger]

china comes in peace? tell that to india, tibet, taiwan.

[truthscavenger]

china will never be the greatest nation on earth. never in a million years.

technologically, they lag far behind usa, europe, japan and even south korea to an extent.

they have severe human rights, free speech, pollution and water woes.

they cannot produce enough grains to feed themselves. imports most of it's grains from brazil for example.

America owes more debt to international bankers than to china.

[DaveTheJackal]

As far as their technological progress ... hmmm isn't 99% of the stuff you buy in the shops Chinese these days?

Most of the money borrowed by the international bankers to sell to the US came from china.

Why should they need to produce their own grain when they can just import it?

Human rights have a way to go in china, but hell some of their 'violations' are saving the planet. The one-child policies for example, by far THE greenest policy on the planet, per capita their CO2 emissions are low

[truthscavenger]

wow, you realized most junk americans buy is chinese made? good for you. how much of it do you reckon is quality? my crap laptop with obnoxious speakers is a lenovo and i vow, never another lenovo again.

tell me, how many chinese products can be compared to japanese or korean be it home appliances or vehicles?

[truthscavenger]

"china's one child policy is the best thing to happen".

you are another one of those green population control nutjobs.

we don't have a population problem, we have a wastage problem. 5 percent of the world's population produces most of the waste. we have a banker problem, speculator problem that increase price of grains for their own profit.

china has the highest capital punishment numbers and sell prisoner organs and you're defending china?

[DaveTheJackal]

I'm not saying china is full of saints but ...

1. Taiwan is still part of china, it declared illegal independence and is not recognised as a sovereign state by any other country.

2. Tibetan Buddhism is mkay. Poor women's rights, very dodgy and oppressive religious practices, it's not all yogurt munching and bamboo sticks. It's been china's for century's.

3. What exactly has china done against India? Unless you're referring to the invasion of china by the British from their base in India?

[scorpiooooooh]

babeebee... China may achieve economic power, but will never be recieved globally as a great nation in the sense of it's government power. All of China's cutting edge technology is stolen, the abuse of basic human rights is truly horrific. China is already a great nation, and has contributed much to civilization and culture. China's value is in her people, the culture and the beauty of the nation. But exploiting the Falun Gong for spare parts on the organ transplant black market, DISGRACEFUL!

[KhmerD0g]

this is fuck up. american tax payers bailing out GM so they can build a plant in China.

[cheddyrod]

America owes China more than $2 trillion. Great empires eventually fall due to greed, graft and stupidity and that includes America. The new world leader is CHINA!

[truthscavenger]

like i say, people who buy products due to "patriotic reason" aren't the brightest. the corporations only care about numero uno ( themselves).
