Thats right, but the difference is that Toyota can do it almost anywhere, while GM will HAVE to go to CHINA if it wants to be competitive. This is a GLOBAL economy and will only get bigger, the point here is that its pretty ignorant for consumers to discriminate companies based on what country their GLOBAL Headquarters are located.
This may be a short-term solution to keep the "American" car companies afloat, but in the long run the Global economy will force wages to equalize and balance out, at which point, only the strong will survive (i.e. the companies that have worked to be competitive, instead of running away to China for a short term fix for short-term profit)
