China has become the top sales market for General Motors, the iconic American automaker owned by U.S. taxpayers.

Through the first six months of the year GM and its Chinese joint venture partners have sold 1.21 million vehicles in China, the company announced Friday. Its U.S. sales, announced Thursday, came in at 1.08 million...

This makes perfect sense. Govt Motors sells best in a country like Communist China.

[YHAOS]

Take it to China, GM. They are your natural manure.

[cranked]

Garbage in, garbage out....

[The_Reader_David]

I still object to fascism, communism and state capitalism, but there is something deliciously ironic about this particular news.

[org.whodat]

Chinese worlds leading producer of garbage and worlds leading purchaser of Government Motors garbage as well.

[Last Dakotan]

I’ll bet the Chinese cars aren’t made by the UAW.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Those “GM” cars sold in China, are not made in America.

Because the Chinese market is not open.

China insisted the cars sold in China, be made there.
Which country, America or China, is now doing ever better in trade and manufacturing?...

Hmm?

How’s that “free trade” thing working out so far?

Wake up people.

Of course, when a foreign firm opens shop up in the U.S., the protectionist retards yelp that “the profits are going overseas.” So what’s it gonna’ be?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Well the way things are headed, the “way it’s gonna be” is that people like you will continue to sell every job and asset in America until eventually there’s nothing left to sell.

At which point our once-mighty nation, by then racked by never before seen levels of poverty and joblessness, will have nothing left. No jobs. No talents. No factories.

Our military broke and without industry to support it.

And America will collapse. Forever gone.

It’s that simple.

Wake up people.

the protectionist retards

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your nascent buy-American persona seems to have died aborning, rudester.

Pity, that. It was very entertaining for a couple of days.

[Hoodat]

The Chi-Coms are already accustomed to driving crappy cars. And because of their strong aversion to anything Japanese, it will be a long, long time before Japanese automakers are able to inject high quality into the Chinese market.

[dfwgator]

Well when you think about it, China essentially owns General Motors now.

[Richard Kimball]

I'm generally a believer in free trade, but I remember when Reagan was in office, his commitment to free trade did not override common sense. It became apparent to him that the Japanese government was underwriting the Jap bike manufacturers in an attempt to run Harley-Davidson, the last American bike manufacturer out of business. They were dumping bikes at below cost on the US market. Reagan did not pull an Annie Hall, and go, "well lah-de-dah." He did enact tariffs on Japanese bikes until such time as they dropped the bike dumping.

A lot of people are so bound to an ideology, that they ignore when other countries are gaming the system for the purpose of bankrupting another player.

[The Duke]

Ok...now let’s talk where the most profits come from.

[mono]

They love the top of the line Buick model in China. It is a huge seller there.

[WackySam]

Proof that the Chi-Coms really aren’t that smart after all.

[1rudeboy]

Amazing that your strawman lasted as long as it did. Maybe you should’ve put a tariff on foreign strawmen, so that we all could pay more for them. Imagine the boom.

[WKUHilltopper]

Hmmm...only Commies are dumb enough to buy gov’t manufactured vehicles?

[1rudeboy]

I’m just saying . . . if you’re gonna’ wrap yourself in the flag, you shouldn’t be such a hypocrite about it . . . it demeans the flag.
