GM Wants Parts Makers To Pull Supply Chains From China (businesstimes.com.sg)

(Saturday November 15, 2025 @05:00AM (BeauHD) from the locally-sourced dept.)


[1]schwit1 shares a report from the Business Times:

> General Motors (GM) has directed several thousand of its suppliers to [2]scrub their supply chains of parts from China , four people familiar with the matter said, reflecting automakers' growing frustration over geopolitical disruptions to their operations. GM executives have been telling suppliers they should find alternatives to China for their raw materials and parts, with the goal of eventually moving their supply chains out of the country entirely, the people said. The automaker has set a 2027 deadline for some suppliers to dissolve their China sourcing ties, some of the sources said. GM approached some suppliers with the directive in late 2024, but the effort took on fresh urgency this past spring, during the early days of an escalating US-China trade battle, the sources said.
