HONG KONG, July 13 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- GM has gone through the bankruptcy and reconstitution process within 40 days- a "lightening" speed, emerging as the new GM on July 10 formally. The reconstituted new GM has given up all its previous regional operation systems and withdrawn the establishment of operational areas in Latin America, Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. It has settled its global operational base in Shanghai instead, coordinating its operations in various areas around the world, demonstrating the profound emphasis GM has placed on Chinese market. According to figures, China's auto sales surpassed 6 million units in the first half of the year, becoming the largest auto market in the world followed by U.S. and Japan. Meanwhile, during the same period, GM (China) Investment Corp. and its subsidiary joint ventures have collectively posted an auto sale of 814,442 units, up 38.0% from the same period in the previous year, registering a new high in GM's half-year auto sales in China.

The new GM set up an international operation base in Shanghai immediately after its reconstitution, appointing Nick Reilly, the former President of GM Asia Pacific, as the Executive Vice President of GM international operations. This demonstrably shows that the commendable performance on the China-led Asia Pacific market is recognized by the headquarter.
