gm may fail in both china and s.africa, with two differences, and important, that is (a) should gm fail in china, the failure will be more costly than a failure in s.africa, and (b) should gm fail in china, someone substantive may pick up the pieces and make a success out of it to matter to gm global. another difference, much of what gm produces in china, at least up to now, is for china sales, not export, and not true should gm produce 10k h3 in s.africa i suspect that china made cars, under many ownership, will be on the world market, including the hummer knockoffs, because it is inevitable on the trade deficit, not sure, because much of china imports is actually directly necessary for processing and export, and therefore if/when export declines, so will import dunno about s.africa, except to say they dig things (real money) out of the ground and sell it for paper fiat.

GM hs to embark in the global production system that works like this: Good year manufactures, radial tyres in Brazil for cars and tractors. Indonesian Goodyear manufactures, radial tyres for trucks and cars. Goodyears US manufactures tyres for trucks, cras and aircaft. Thailand and Mexico also produce them. Which country has the best time delivery and the currency is at its most advantage vis a vis the others, sells tyres in the world market. Same goes for Pirelli power and telecoms cables. Globalization forced that and it is the only way to compete.
