According to our experience of working in China over the last decade, the most significant factor in conducting business in China is a good partnership.
Some foreign companies have had poor experiences with their partners in China and, as a result, some have pulled out of joint ventures. We are privileged to be working with the most successful domestic manufacturer in China.
I think our Chinese partners would agree with me that their cooperation with General Motors has brought them fresh thinking from around the world.
Of course, what our Chinese partners have brought to us is much greater, for instance, the knowledge of how to work efficiently within the Chinese system. I look forward to our many years of partnership and working with a world-class organization.
