What doesn't make any sense to me is that GM increased sales in China by ~50%, and China is now the world's largest car market, but their numbers still suck. It doesn't seem to make sense although I'm sure there is a decent explanation.

Actual sales in China are still fairly low given its population base......about 10 million per year. The US was at 16 million before things fell apart. In addition, GM's market share is not that great:

"Due to an increase of sales in China of 17%, GM’s Asia market share rose from 6.9% to 8%. making it the only bright spot on the globe."
