Our VP stated that GM is alive – he should have stated GM IS ALIVE – IN CHINA.  The taxpayers shelled out $80 BILLION to bail this company out.  Was the bailout a mistake?   Why wasn’t GM allowed to go bankrupt and then restructure – sure would have been a different story as far as the taxpayers were concerned? 

The CEO reported that GM operates 11 assembly plants and 4 power train plants in eight cities across China in affiliation with Shanghai Auto Industry  Company (SAIC)/FAW?.  It was stated:  we regard our 11 joint ventures as 11 keys to success (with a communist country?) – not just in China but globally.  Our commitment to working in China, with China, for China remains strong and focused on the future.  OH! GOODY!

Whatever happened to  Chevrolet’s ad:   baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, AND CHEVROLET?  Question:  What will their new ad be – you fill in the blanks!
