Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors also told China Daily on Wednesday that it has given up a deal to purchase a plant of US automaker GM in the state of Maharashtra, India, because it failed to obtain regulatory approval.
中国汽车制造商长城汽车周三也对《中国日报》表示，由于未能获得监管部门的批准，该公司已放弃收购美国汽车制造商通用汽车在印度马哈拉施特拉邦的一家工厂。
"We and GM had been in communication with local regulators over the past two years about the deal.
“过去两年，我们和通用汽车一直在与当地监管机构就这笔交易进行沟通。
GM said Sunday it plans to produce up to 10,000 ventilators a month by this summer at a plant in Kokomo, Indiana.
About 120 miles east of the city, Chad Lee was with pickets outside GM's Flint Truck Assembly plant.
"I've been with the union for 55 years," said Heintzelman, who retired as a carpenter from the GM plant in Wyoming in 1997.
That "family'' of nearly 50,000 workers is on strike at 33 GM plants across the country, and 17,000 of them are out of work at 13 plants in Michigan.
The strike's impact has been felt from Mexico to Canada, where GM plants that depend on American factories have closed, putting thousands out of work.
Though Michigan's economy isn't as dependent on the auto sector as it was when a 1998 strike against GM lasted 57 days, it is feeling a decline in consumer purchases, drops in income and corporate tax revenues of about $400,000 a day and an increased demand on its unemployment insurance system from non-union workers who are out of work because of the strike.
According to Bloomberg, GM already has lost more than $1 billion in earnings before interest and taxes; GM's bigger parts suppliers are losing as much as $2 million a day, and the US Treasury has lost $154 million so far in payroll and income taxes.
"Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, visited workers on the picket line at GM's Delta Township Assembly Plant near Lansing on Monday, and said she hopes the strike ends soon.
Reports say GM Jeremy Chen offered solutions for the 50-plus employees including relocation to the company's domestic department or leaving the job.

Jennifer Goforth, chief engineer of GM China electrification in Shanghai, arrived in China in March 2017 with her family to lead a program designing electric vehicles specifically for the Chinese customer.
"In 2014, Fuyao bought a former General Motors (GM) facility that was closed in the 2008 Financial Crisis in Moraine, Dayton, for $15 million, and turned it into a two-million-square-feet glass manufacturing plant.
Being a local resident in Dayton, 48-year-old James Reid used to work in the GM facility.
Talking of the differences of his work in GM and in FGA, Reid said: "A lot of skilled trades are involved in this one. "
"Reid used to be a production associate on an assembly production line in GM.
GM China sold 986,052 units, up nearly 8 percent year-over-year.
"GM China should be mostly immune from trade spats with the US because nearly all vehicles and parts are assembled and sourced locally.
There could be some issues with low volume exports from China to the US such as the Cadillac CT6 PHEV, but I don't think the impact of a trade war on a few vehicles derails GM China's momentum," Morningstar analyst David Whiston wrote in an email.
GM CFO Chuck Stevens told CNBC that GM has seen no slowdown in China despite threats and counter threats between Beijing and Washington.
But China only imported 1.2 million from all countries in 2017, so GM likely sold its cars through its subsidiary in Shanghai.
China has been the largest market for GM for the past six years and surpassed the United States as the largest market for its premium brand Cadillac last year.
In 2017, GM and its joint ventures sold 4.04 million units in China, up 4.4 percent year-on-year, coming second only to German rival Volkswagen AG, which sold 4.18 million cars in the country.
GM expects China to continue playing an important role in the company's global move towards a future of zero emissions, zero crashes and zero congestion.
"The automotive industry is transforming globally, which provides unprecedented opportunities for us to exceed with our strong understanding of consumer needs," said Matt Tsien, GM executive vice-president and president of GM China.
"GM is planning to introduce 20 new electric cars globally by 2023 and said it expects "a substantial share" of them to be sold in China, which has been the world's largest market for such cars since 2015.
Having demonstrated its Vehicle-to-Infrastructure capability on public roads in Shanghai last year, GM is exploring new connected vehicle opportunities in the country.
Globally, GM forecasts its 2018 results to be largely in line with the expected 2017 results, benefiting mainly from continued strength in China and North America.
"GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra said in a statement.
Sales of its Cadillac, Buick and Baojun cars combined totaled 4.04 million cars, making China GM's largest retail market for the sixth consecutive year.
"We will continue to bring the right products and technology to market to meet increasingly diverse demands for personal mobility," said Matt Tsien, GM executive vice-president and president of GM China.
"In March, Novelis expanded its portfolio of automotive customers into the EV sector by adding Shanghai-based electric vehicle startup NIO to its client pool, which already included Ford, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, GM, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Kia, and others.
That would give Volkswagen a head start in the country, as the first localized electric car from its major rival GM will not hit the market until at least 2019 and Ford's first after 2020.
Every day is a fresh day and the hotel is a window for us to discover the world," said Zhang, GM of Shanghai Marriott Hotel Pudong East, which is located in an international community in Jinqiao of Shanghai.
"She took the position of GM in September 2021, becoming the first female general manager of the hotel since its debut in early 2013.
Jenny Zhang, GM of the J Hotel Shanghai Tower, also encouraged women in the industry to keep pursuing their dreams and to be authentically themselves.
Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council, a group that represents more than 260 companies that do business with China including Boeing, Microsoft and GM, told People's Daily in an interview that bilateral trade relations are strong, and many US companies are still optimistic about the Chinese market and plan to increase investment in China.
GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp that makes Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles.
Sales rose 26 percent for GM cars under its mass-market Buick brand in the third quarter year-on-year, while those of Cadillac jumped 28 percent, GM said in a statement.
Last year, it delivered 1.33 million vehicles as the third popular carmaker in the country, following FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC GM.
Li Xiangju, a researcher at the academy's Institute of Plant Protection, said the results of the pilot program show that the GM soybean varieties perform better as only one spray of herbicide can achieve over 95 percent of the weeding for those varieties.
中国农业科学院植物保护研究所研究员李向菊表示，试点项目的结果显示，转基因大豆品种表现更优，仅需喷洒一次除草剂，就能实现这些品种超过95%的除草效果。
The effect of GM corn varieties on the fall army worm, a major threat to crops, reached 85 to 95 percent without the use of pesticides, Li said.
李（Li）表示，转基因玉米品种对作物重大威胁之一——秋黏虫的影响达到了85%至95%的有效控制，且无需使用杀虫剂。
The pilot project found that GM soybean can reduce weeding costs by 50 percent and increase yields by 12 percent, while GM corn can see yield increases of 6.7 to 10.7 percent.
该试点项目发现，转基因大豆能够减少50%的除草成本，并提高12%的产量；而转基因玉米则能实现6.7%至10.7%的增产效果。
Liu Biao, a researcher at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences, said the GM corn and soybean in the pilot program had no negative effects on beneficial insects and soil quality.
生态环境部南京环境科学研究所的研究员刘彪表示，试点项目中的转基因玉米和大豆对益虫和土壤质量没有产生负面影响。
"The decreased use of pesticides on GM corn boosts ecological and environmental safety," Liu said, adding that using the same herbicide on GM soybean and corn can help intercropping and rotation of the two crops.
刘（Liu）表示：“转基因玉米上农药使用的减少提升了生态和环境安全性。”他补充道，在转基因大豆和玉米上使用相同的除草剂有助于这两种作物的间作和轮作。
Liu Peilei, an official with the ministry, said the achievements in the pilot program mark China's move into the industrialization of GM corn and soybean.
"Promoting the industrialization of GM corn and soybean will break the bottleneck of agricultural production," Liu said at a news conference last month.
Liu said the GM soybean and corn have excellent traits and can compete with similar overseas products.
Four GM corn varieties and three GM soybean varieties have obtained safety certificates for production and application.
The types of GM crops have expanded to 32 species including potatoes, eggplants and apples.
GM crops are currently grown commercially in 71 countries and regions.
Huang Jikun, also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Peking University, said the United States, Brazil and Argentina are the top three countries in terms of planting areas of GM crops.
This year's show will be attended by virtually all well-known domestic and foreign auto brands showcasing their latest products, including more than 30 international automobile brands, including Mercedez-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Lincoln, GM, Toyota and Nissan.
今年的展会将几乎汇集所有国内外知名汽车品牌，展示他们的最新产品，包括超过30个国际汽车品牌，如梅赛德斯-奔驰、宝马、奥迪、大众、福特、林肯、通用、丰田和日产。
According to the Dalian Commodity Exchange, which operates the soybean futures trading in China, the trial implemented in Nenjiang county, one of China's largest non-genetically modified (GM) soybean plantation areas, covers 22 households with an outcome of 15,000 metric tons of soybeans this year.
GM's Buick Envision, the first China-made auto sold in the US, could fade from American highways if the Big Three automaker doesn't receive an exemption from a 25 percent US tariff.
The Envision, first available in the US in 2016, is produced by Shanghai GM, a joint venture between GM and SAIC Motor Corp.
"That's a vehicle that is a relatively low-volume vehicle in the US market," GM President Dan Ammann told reporters on Aug 3 in Detroit.
"In a July 30 filing with the US Trade Representative Office, GM said:"While the volume of Envisions sold in the US is small, it is strategically important and essential to the Buick brand.
"GM sold 210,000 Envisions in China last year, according to the filing.
Sales of the SUV in China and in the US "both lead to significant repatriation of funds" to invest in US manufacturing and development of next-generation automotive technology, GM said in the filing.
"It will continue to be the position of the UAW that products sold in the USA be made in the USA," Terry Dittes, the union's vice president and head of its GM department, said in a statement.
Ahead of the July 6 start date for the tariffs, GM shipped a six-month supply of Envisions to the US at the previous 2.5 percent tariff rate.
GM had cut prices by as much as $2,500 on the 2019 models, which it started shipping in late April, so Buick's 2,000 US dealers should have lower-priced Envisions to sell deep into the year.
GM sold 75,883 EVs — of which 62,045 were Bolts and 13,838 were Ultium platform EVs.
Shares of Ford, US-listed shares of Stellantis and Tesla and GM settled lower on Wednesday.
GM said it would offer $7,500 incentives on its EVs that lost a US government tax credit last week.
As the Chinese partner of both Volkswagen and GM, the automaker sold 1.12 million NEVs in 2023, featuring marques from Roewe to IM.
Ford and GM warned recently they were delaying the launch of cheaper EV models and pulling back on spending due to weaker demand and higher costs in the wake of new United Auto Worker contracts.
The Cadillac Optiq and Buick's Electra E5 are among NEVs built on GM's Ultium platform.
Cadillac said it will launch three new electric models in 2024, while SAIC GM, GM's Chinese joint venture, said its NEV sales from January to October totaled nearly 70,000 units.
Julian Blissett, president of GM China, said: "The feedback we received at the CIIE encouraged us to establish the Durant Guild to bring in a curated collection of iconic products to enable the diverse lifestyles our customers are pursuing.
A closer look revealed that the sales fall was primarily the result of lackluster performance at its joint ventures SAIC GM and SAIC Volkswagen.
GM saw its sales of NEVs hit a record high in the second quarter, hitting 115,000 units.
GM said it is on track to launch more than 20 new and refreshed models in China this year, over one-third of which will be NEVs.
GM's premium Cadillac saw even faster growth in the quarter, with over 55,000 delivered, up 51 percent from the same period last year.
In an interview late last month, Julian Blissett, executive vice-president of GM and president of GM China, said the company is confident in China's vehicle market, which has been the world's largest since 2009.
Julian Blissett, executive vice-president of GM and president of GM China, reaffirmed the company's commitment to the world's largest vehicle market in an interview last week.
Barra outlined GM's vision of development and reiterated her confidence in the company's business in China.
Blissett said the partnership between GM and SAIC Motor is an exemplar in the automotive industry and the two will continue close cooperation.
Blissett said GM is introducing smart features into its gasoline vehicles as well, such as three newly launched Cadillac models equipped with the Super Cruise system.
GM has been tailoring models for the Chinese market based on its understanding of local tech-savvy customers.
He explained that is why GM has been increasing investment in its design team and facilities.
The Shanghai-based Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center is a design and engineering facility co-built by GM and SAIC Motor.
GM also has an advanced design center in China.
As one of GM's four advanced design centers worldwide, the Shanghai-based studio serves as a leading tastemaker for the company's future products, it said.
The GM China Advanced Design Center, established in 2012, upgraded its facilities and expanded its team in 2021, helping GM transform toward an all-electric brand.
The tools have helped to enhance work efficiency and synergy among GM's global design teams.
As one of the four of GM's advanced design centers worldwide, the Shanghai-based studio serves as a leading tastemaker for the company's future products, according to Michael Simcoe, senior vice-president of GM Global Design, who delivered a speech via a video last week on a media event.
"China's booming electric vehicle market, coupled with consumers' strong desire for new technologies, has afforded GM's designers a unique opportunity to revolutionize personal mobility," Simcoe said.
The Shanghai studio introduced some in-process projects last week, each of which aims to predict, demonstrate and tap into design trends and synthesize market-facing insights that may inspire GM's portfolio over the next five to 10 years, according to Stuart Norris, design vice-president of GM China and GM International.
Each project draws insights from the Chinese market, inspiring design innovation and meeting GM's global needs, Norris said.
Also, the project involves young designers, who have played crucial roles in GM advanced design projects, helping the brand establish an emotional connection with China's future EV buyers.
Because of those concerns, some established companies, such as GM, are looking to use what engineers describe as smaller-scale giga-castings.
Such indigenous brands are expected to account for 70 percent of SAIC's NEV sales goal, said the Shanghai-based carmaker, which is the Chinese partner of Volkswagen and GM.
Based on GM's Ultium electric vehicle platform and pure design concept, the Electra E5 has a class-leading 2,954 millimeters wheelbase and is 4,892 mm in length.
The E5 is supported by GM's Vehicle Intelligence Platform, also known as the central nervous system of its electric vehicles.
But when they asked what the difference between GM and Geely is, he said "it's speed".
Even Toyota's Lexus and GM's Cadillac, which once sat behind only the German giants of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, have started to lose steam.
GM China launched the flexible Ultium EV platform in 2021.
