Who will be the major player(s) among China's domestic automotive/parts makers in 5 years time and why?

I know someone who has written a detailed report about China´s Auto Makers for a very large company and perhaps I can convince him to send you a copy for a very low price.

GM will fall further by more than 5%.

Thanks to Mrs.Thatcher and now Tony, our manufacturing industry has been transferred to China and India, as a result our service sectors dominating our market place. Who knows what will happen if Honda, Nissan and Toyota decide to move their factories from  the UK  to a cheaper and more cost effective alternative in the eastern europe. I can only guess that recession will follow and this may even affect the service sector.In my view,at the present time the service sector is the dominant labour market in the UK.

probably china and england are two of the closest. the chinese have a lot of people and have revolutionized a lot of stuff liek technology. England is always a very powerful country.

It'll likely be in 2007 or early 2008. Rick Wagoner (CEO of GM) has done a lot recently to (re)build the company into a leaner and meaner enterprise. In the last 6 months, GM has made a deal with the UAW to reduce health care costs by 1B annually, they've introduced their new line of SUV's (6 months early) with great fanfare, they've implemented a new pricing strategy to reduce incentives, and they've begun the long process of "right sizing" the company. GM is also working with Delphi to offer buyouts to their employee's in hopes of avoiding a crippling strike by the UAW. GM is looking to sell a controlling interest in GMAC which will raise some much needed cash for GM to reinvest it's core business. Overall, the days of GM having 30%-40% market share are long gone. It's still the biggest (for now), working harder  than ever on being the best.

No way, China is fast becoming a superpower. I think they will eventually become a superpower beyond what the world has ever seen. They are already in a position to make the US go bankrupt whenever they decide it will be in their best interest.

Those who isolate will lose. Those who join will win out. India and China are rising stars in the big picture. Australia and Brazil are rising regionally.

I predict that Toyota and GM will merge, creating the worlds largest auto company.

China is definitely up and coming and is already one of the major players in the world strategy game. Whether it will be the only player, only time will tell. \n\nSomeone once asked Deng Xiaoping whether democracy has proven to be a superior system of government. He answered: "it is too early to tell as it has only been in exsitence for about 500 years". \n\nWhether China wants to be a world superpower is another story - not everyone wants to be able to project its power even though it has it. Throughout history, China has not expanded outside its borders since historical times even though it had the means to do so. It used to use bribery to improve relations and trade rather than invading and colonising any other country.

If you examine both companies' plans for the future, it will reveal that Ford's plan is to emphasize fuel efficient hybrids.  In fact Ford sold off Hertz rental to raise cash for new fuel efficient production.  GM's plan is to capitalize on the trend towards Suv's, while some effort will go into fuel efficient production.\nBuy Ford.  The baby boomers (largest segment of US population) bought SUV's for family activity.  Their next vehicle may not be influenced by that same factor.  However, higher oil prices are here to stay and may continue to rise along with consumption. China, with the largest pop. in the world, is trading in bicycles for cars.  Their consumption alone has recently grown to #2, surpassing Japan and Europe. Ford is #3 in sales of hybrids right now, behind Toyota and Honda.  They may become #2 in the next few years.  Where do you think the trend in automobile sales will go in the next few years?  Remember, as an oligopoly, the financial barriers to entry are high, so both may remain in business for years to come.  Who's plan looks best?  My money likes Ford.

After a complete polishing of the crystal ball, opening a new deck of Tarot cards, and putting a new coat of varnish on the magic wand I discovered the following:\n\nAutomobiles will continue to operate on gasoline and the Internet will continue to operate on Ethernet. The U.S. automobile manufacturer - General Motors - will continue to be the best selling vehicles in the world, and Yahoo! will continue to be the best Searchable Directory on the Internet.

Nope.\nSoon all manufactoring will be done in Chinese sweatshops and the Chinese government has implemented a 1 kid per family ratio when the demand for cheaper child labour will soon be at an alltime high?\nShesh....
