And Maurice Strong, the Father of Global Warming, has been living in China for many years, investing heavily in the Chinese automobile industry.
The socialism one no longer see means that their unemployment checks have run out?
Bottom Line: The decline, demise, and death of America’s manufacturing sector has been greatly exaggerated. America still makes a ton of stuff, and we make more of it now than ever before in history, but we’re able to do it with a fraction of the workers that would have been required in the past. We’re still the world’s leading manufacturing economy by far, thanks to the world-class productivity of American manufacturing workers, the most productive in the world. Instead of bashing China, Korea, and Mexico for competing against our manufacturing sector and exaggerating the decline of our manufacturing sector, Americans should take more pride and celebrate our status as the world’s leading manufacturer.
Lastly, what does socialism have to do with this? I don't see any socialism in play; only run amok capitalist fascism in which the value of the individual is only equal to their ability to make money for the establishment.

The factories in China are to sell cars to the Chinese.
Here is an article from FactCheck.org explaining why the 'Is GM becoming CM' vid is just badly sourced propaganda.
Is GM Becoming ‘China Motors’?

Our manufacturing base has been exiting the US for many, many years. It should come as no surprise that GM is moving to a country with a manufacturing atmosphere.....not the service-based economy we have in America.

I truly do wish people would educate themselves on socialism...It's becoming asinine.

Until they begin exporting Chinese made GM cars to the US. Dont believe it will happen, the past 20 years of Chinese outsourcing are full of examples.

You don't think the shipping costs per vehicle would make that unfeasible?

And on a related not about Maurice Strong .. the reason he moved to China was to escape possible prosecution for accepting a $1,000,000 kickback from Saddam Hussein.

Yep. Seven out of ten GM automobiles manufactured in the world today are built in China....you really should watch the video to get all the details.
Dan Akerson, CEO of GM, says that seven out of 10 GM automobiles are built outside the U.S.
Last year, Chinese consumers bought 16.6 million cars -- 5 million more than the number sold in the entire U.S., according to J.D. Power and Associates.
