SHANGHAI - The CEO of General Motors (GM) said on Wednesday that the major automaker's joint ventures in China plan to invest a further $11 billion by 2016.
Speaking during a visit to the eastern Chinese city of Shanghai, Mary Barra said the money will be allocated to three areas: products, production capacity and recruitment.
