Watch as their costs go through the roof and they price out their existing customers. And then comes the market share collapse. GM is already known for low quality at high cost. Now they really want to cease existing as a company entirely.

2027? Like what the US general say about Ta1w4n AR timeline?
If you're a GM supplier, this is the fastest and easiest way to cash out big time. Have Chinese components shipped to Vietnam, Thailand, or Cambodia. Have any indicators of origin removed and replaced. Sell to GM at the maximum markup you can extract.
It basically doesn't matter. The way that the Europeans are wired right now, if it's not this bit of theft, there will be another one next week, or the week after that. In the mean time, it's super easy for China to go really slow on the shipment of Nexperia chips to the EU. To make it really hurt, instead of an outright ban, it can reduce the outflow to say, 10% of what the European industry needs. There are nearly an infinite number of ways to pull that football away.
I would suspect the dirty secret is that many of them already are. There's a reason why inflation is 3% instead of 20%.
China should now kick GM out of the country. GM will not be allowed to buy Chinese rare earths starting from now.
All information states that China only allowed for a limited reopening of chip exports to facilitate negotiations to hand the company back to its rightful owners.
Ie. if negotiations breakdown, China can turn off the faucet anytime, but for now is willing to offer leeway so that negotiations can take place to begin with.
I swear some of you guys need to chill out, with how some of the reactions here have been I'm convinced that you lot would not be satisfied with anything less than PLA soldiers ransacking and burning Versaille.
Here's a catch, with all the doom and gloom that's been taking place these past two months, I challenge anyone to name one area where China has actually lost ground and been put on the defensive geopolitically this year. Just off the top of my head, I can't name any. Even the Philippines Coast Guard fiasco was more of a one time operational failure, rather than something that altered the status quo of the region. So go on, list 2025 blunders that have worsened the geopolitical status quo against China, I'll wait.
