GM's recent moves in the Chinese market are fierce. Not only did it have to set up a joint venture company for commercial vehicles with FAW, it also reported that it intends to establish a second car base in Liuzhou, Guangxi. Last week, GM announced a high-profile announcement that it will form the General Research Institute of Science in Shanghai and begin the acquisition of Delphi, one of the world’s largest auto parts companies. However, behind the euphoria of China's ubiquitous opening up of the Chinese market, a few worries have followed.
First of all, GM and Delphi combined into one again, and it is theoretically impossible to rule out that GM's auto parts procurement will be open to Delphi, and other auto parts companies in China will quietly close the door. In particular, the current resurgence of international trade protectionism, the United States, the European Union and other countries on China's auto parts and exports frequently made it difficult, which is unfavorable to the auto parts and components companies are undoubtedly worse.
Although GM's reliance on the Chinese market has become more important, it is a good thing. But good things can also turn into bad things if GM’s ambitions in China have side effects. On the one hand, GM has made great strides in China and has fully enjoyed the rapid development of China's auto market. On the other hand, Chinese auto parts companies have been forced to corner due to the general acquisition of Delphi. This situation is disturbing because only a win-win situation is harmonious and long-lasting.
Secondly, before the establishment of the General Research Institute of Science in China, General Motors and SAIC Motors have established a joint Pan-Asian Automotive Technology Center. According to a general explanation, the two do not constitute a competitive relationship, because the Academy is mainly a forward-looking research, and Asia focuses on the development of market-oriented products. Although this position is reasonable, it still makes people feel alone, because the core work of R&D will be carried out by themselves. It will inevitably lead people to wonder if Pan-Asia will gradually be weakened. This piece is precisely what Chinese auto companies value most.
The Chinese market is not a place to admire the dominance of internationally renowned car companies. Chinese car companies need to use what they have used in the joint ventures and competition with these car companies and gradually grow. Therefore, whoever gets the localization job can get a bit more. Whoever can pay more attention to the win-win situation will win the initiative and share in the Chinese market. Therefore, growing together is not only an oral publicity, but also a reason why GM has been able to succeed in China for so many years. If any of these parties have problems, GM's honeymoon period in China will inevitably appear flawed. GM is a partner, or a market predator. This is a problem.
