Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favorite tales on this weekly e-newsletter.

Basic Motors is shedding its golden goose in China. As soon as a linchpin of its world development technique, the nation is now the US automaker’s greatest headache. 

The corporate behind Buick and Chevrolet mentioned this week it will take a cost of greater than $5bn because it restructures its China enterprise, which is made up of joint ventures. It has its work reduce out.

Like different international automobile firms, it’s going through a number of challenges within the nation. Development within the Chinese language auto market has slowed as customers reduce spending. On the identical time, native gamers — helped by beneficiant subsidies from Beijing — are profitable market share. A tit-for-tat commerce conflict ensuing from US president-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Chinese language imports would add to the ache. All because of this, whereas GM want to draw a line below its woes in China, it’s removed from sure that it will possibly achieve this. 

GM loses its golden goose in China

Final yr, for the primary time since 2009, GM offered fewer autos in China than it did within the US. The decline has continued in 2024. The Chinese language enterprise has racked up $347mn in losses within the first 9 months of the yr. Its automobile unit gross sales within the nation fell almost 20 per cent in that interval, whereas its market share dropped to six.8 per cent, from 8.6 per cent a yr earlier and almost 14 per cent in 2018.

But GM shares have been unfazed. The inventory is up 48 per cent this yr and was buying and selling at a virtually three-year excessive simply final month. That’s largely due to the energy of its North American enterprise, which accounts for many of its earnings. The $10.1bn in internet earnings it reported final yr is about 50 per cent greater than what it made in 2019 regardless of the regular decline in its China enterprise.

Traders ignore GM’s China struggles at their peril. Issues will solely get harder. Whereas China is the world’s greatest auto market, additionally it is probably the most aggressive. Enhancements in high quality, mixed with low costs, have allowed homegrown Chinese language firms together with NIO, Geely and BYD to construct a lead in electrical autos.

GM believes its joint ventures may be restructured with out additional capital injections and that it may be worthwhile in China subsequent yr. Even when that’s the case, it’s arduous to see GM — or different international carmakers which can be retrenching to adapt to declining gross sales — reaching the identical stage of profitability as previously. With China’s slowing market already setting off a worth conflict between native manufacturers, the get together for international carmakers appears over for now.
