On Thursday, General Motors (GM) declared its intention to foster a profitable and self-sustaining business in China in the face of formidable competition from domestic automakers.
This commitment was voiced by GM CFO Paul Jacobson during an auto conference hosted by J.P. Morgan, just as GM’s stock enjoyed a rise of over 4 percent.
Jacobson stated the objective of achieving financial health in China through internal means, though he recognized that restructuring measures are necessary to enhance the region's business performance.
An increasing number of budget-friendly and feature-packed cars from Chinese manufacturers have presented a challenge to global car makers like GM. This has heightened investor concerns regarding GM's ventures in China, a region that has transitioned from being a key source of profits to a financial burden within the last ten years.
GM previously revealed in the last month its strategy to work with its joint venture partner in China to reorganize its business and cut costs. Despite a reported $104 million loss in China for the second quarter, Jacobson remained optimistic about the viability of GM’s activities in the area and underscored the importance of the ongoing restructuring.
While some market analysts believe that GM and other leading American car manufacturers should exit the Chinese market to concentrate on producing high-cost electric vehicles, GM is resolute in enhancing its status in China and seizing upcoming opportunities there.
