Vehicles made at the venture will carry the FAW brand and will focus on supplying the China market, but they could be exported under a GM brand through the Detroit automaker's global network in the future, Wale said.

Not for me!

Then there will be recalls for lead paint vehicles because some kid was scratching the paint off and got sick. Im sorta kidding, but in all honesty im about sick of us outsourcing everything to China!

I must say i'm impressed with looking at their Tractor Head trailers....

the FAW J6 has both option of Eaton and ZF gearboxes, i don't know who makes their engines but it looks as they're a good truck maker...

probably compares well with IVECO Stralis...

What they're actually doing is, is making light duty vehicles over there to "Export" to various parts of Asia. They're not gonna send those things back to the U.S. to sell. GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes all have plants in various assembly plants in various parts of the world to handle different markets. That plant venture over there will be used to make vehicles to sell in China and surrounding countries, not the United States. It's cheaper for them to make it over there and sell it there, then make it here and sell it over there. But they've been doing this for years. GM has more than one market to serve you know.
