I wonder if the Chinese made GM cars are better made than the GM cars made in N. America?
If GM/China has no UAW labor on its assembly lines, then the quality is probably pretty good. The horror stories of American union "workers" is well known. Refer to Lordstown, Ohio for one such case where union "workers" would stop in the middle of a welding job when the shift ended.

WHAT?!? I hope this “practice” doesn’t apply to airplane construction as well.

The Chinese GM auto owners send out a big “Xie xie” to the American taxpayers who helped reduce the price of cars in China! Have an eggroll!
Rather than being put off by this, Americans ought to be proud that GM vehicles are so well regarded in China. A Cadillac or Buick in China has a better reputation in China than they do here in the States.
