America's auto titans are dismantling their global empires. But Chinese auto sales are up, and this year China is projected to displace Japan as the world's largest car producer. Let us wait and see the empirical evidence in the years to come.
Chinese automakers are interested in the United States and that Detroit's automakers are interested in them. It is a matter of mutual benefit in Sino-American Economics.
Photo: A model poses with a Chevolet at an auto show in Beijing. GM,which as two joint ventures in China, plans to import cars from there starting in 2011,according to a GM plan circulating in Congress. In the US,auto sales fell 34% last month. GM,which has received $15.4 billion in US government loans,says it is likely to file for bankruptcy protection.
The Photo has CHEVROLET with Chinese characters of "Xue Fo Lan" in phonetic equivalents of the meanings of "Snow,Buddha,Orchid." Incongruous i.e. "bu xie tiao de" in Pin Yin but interesting i.e. "you xing qu de" in transliteration(changing English into corresponding Chinese words with phonetic eqivalents i.e."yin yi". For an explanation of Pin Yin system of romanization,"A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" is dedicated to readers with a free copy available at www.rand.org for reference.
