GM wants parts makers to pull supply chains from China: Reuters
GM aims to cut Chinese parts from North American vehicle supply chains by 2027 to boost manufacturing security amid rising US-China trade tensions.
- In recent months, General Motors instructed several thousand suppliers to remove Chinese parts and materials from their supply chains and switch to alternatives outside China for North America production.
- Escalating U.S.-China friction, including export curbs and halted Nexperia shipments, pushed renewed tariff measures and rare-earth restrictions this year, increasing urgency for GM's directive, sources said.
- The carmaker set deadlines for some suppliers to end China sourcing by 2027 and expanded efforts to basic components, while partnering with U.S.-based rare-earth companies and investing in a Nevada lithium mine.
- Parts suppliers are scrambling and saying rerouting supply chains outside China is costly and complex, while industry groups warned the move risks factory interruptions due to China’s dominance in lighting and electronics.
- Longer term, executives say the shift reflects a bipartisan reevaluation of U.S.-China relations that could reshape manufacturing amid alerts over tariffs and material bottlenecks.
