China, once GM’s largest and most important market, has become its biggest problem. General Motors told shareholders on Wednesday that it would record two non-cash charges totaling more than $5 billion on its joint venture in China, one related to the restructuring of the operation and another reflecting its reduced value. GM expects the charge for restructuring costs to be $2.6 to $2.9 billion and the charge for reduced joint-venture value to be $2.7 billion. The automaker’s shares were down 2.7% before the bell. GM partners with SAIC Motors in China to build Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles. The company’s board of directors determined that the non-cash charges were necessary “in light of the finalization of a new business forecast and certain restructuring actions” with the joint venture, according to a company filing.
