GM's China sales speed past those in US

[Bruce Nunnally]

NEW YORK — Troubled US car maker General Motors on Tuesday announced it sold more vehicles in China in November than in its home market of the United States.

The Detroit auto giant saw its sales double in China in November versus the same month a year before, reaching 177,339 vehicles, according to the company's top market analyst Mike DiGiovanni.

In the United States sales dipped two percent year-on-year to 151,427 units, as US car markers continued their slow recovery.

The figures were enough to boost GM's share of the burgeoning Chinese market by 13 percent the firm said.
