The statement noted that supplier selection hinges on core commercial factors: total cost, technical service capabilities, supply stability, product quality, and regulatory compliance. This approach ensures professional and rational decision-making across the supply chain.
GM underscored that China remains a vital component of its global strategy, with plans to deepen its presence in the market. Through long-term, deep collaboration with local partners, the company has built a mature local supply chain—achieving a localization rate of over 95%.
Looking ahead, GM pledged to drive steady growth in China. These efforts are expected to deliver tangible benefits to Chinese consumers, local suppliers, dealers, and partners, while creating real value for employees and the communities where they operate.
Notably, GM's full-year 2025 financial report reveals five consecutive quarters of profitability in China, signaling a solid recovery. Rigorous production and inventory management, combined with a product strategy tailored to market demand, have laid the groundwork for sustained earnings in the region.
In 2025, GM posted year-over-year growth in both retail sales and market share in China. New energy vehicle sales approached 1 million units—accounting for more than half of total volume—while both sales volume and penetration rates hit record highs. Executing a strategy that advances both internal combustion and electric vehicles, GM boasts the most diverse new-energy lineup among international automakers. By 2026, every new model the company launches in China will offer a new-energy option.
