The business is also "highly successful" and "profitable" with its partner the SAIC (Shanghai Auto Industry Corporation) (SAIC), he said. "SAIC remains a critical partner of General Motors going forward."

Speaking of the future cooperation, he said: "We are very interested and excited about the next five years," he said.
