Michigan Senators Question GM Deal In China

Michigan’s U.S. senators are questioning General Motors’ deal with a Chinese automaker to develop electric vehicles in China. GM officials say the agreement allows the Detroit-based car company to combine its expertise in electric vehicle technology with its long-time partner SAIC Motor’s knowledge of the Chinese market. The deal could make China the center of GM’s efforts to develop electric vehicles. But Michigan’s senior U.S. senator – Carl Levin – tells WDET’s Quinn Klinefelter he fears the Chinese government is coercing GM into trading technical secrets for access to the world’s largest car market.
