re: Health care costs may have aggrandized the problem, but why is absolutely nobody talking about the 25% tariffs China imposes on cars coming into China, while we hit them with a 2% tariff? Do you have a link to that data? BTW, GM is the #1 brand in China.

Brian, why is absolutely nobody talking about the 25% tariffs China imposes on cars coming into China, while we hit them with a 2% tariff? I don't see any Chinese-made cars on the road. Tenchusatsu

Why isn't anyone looking at the big picture, and the fact that the Big Three do not get the chance to play on an even playing field, but face high tariffs, while their competition does not? This is the root cause for the so called "failure" of the Big Three. Health care costs may have aggrandized the problem, but why is absolutely nobody talking about the 25% tariffs China imposes on cars coming into China, while we hit them with a 2% tariff? This is one industry in which Congress has failed them. Hmmm.......then why is GM poised to be number one in auto share in China? Right now, its only slightly behind VW. businessweek.com
