A stunning number from GM’s China business.

quotes

Consider this snippet from the Wall Street Journal’s coverage of GM’s sales:

GM’s China Sales Surge

. . .

The U.S. auto maker’s operations in its home market have been much weaker. For example, GM’s November sales in China more than doubled from a year earlier to 177,339 vehicles, while in the U.S. they fell 1.7% to 150,676.

Forget the growth/decline rates for a second and just look at the raw figures. Then ponder this: GM (through its Chinese joint ventures) sold more cars in China than it did in its home market. Wow.
