China Becomes GM's Biggest Market

中国成为通用汽车最大市场

American auto maker General Motors says it has sold more cars in China than it has in the United States this year.

美国汽车制造商通用公司表示，通用今年在中国的销量已经超过在美国本土的成绩。

That is a first for GM, which remains the biggest U.S. auto maker despite a painful bankruptcy reorganization last year. It reported selling 1.21 million vehicles in China during the first six months of this year, compared to 1.07 million sold in the United States.

这一现象对通用公司来说是史无前例的。尽管通用去年受到沉重的破产重组影响，但通用公司仍然是美国最大的汽车制造厂商。通用称，公司今年上半年在中国市场卖出了121万辆汽车，而在美国市场的销量则为107万辆。

Friday's sales figures reflect a GM strategy of focusing on growth in emerging markets such as China, where company officials expect to sell more than 2 million cars this year.

星期五发布的销售数字反映出通用重点向如中国这样的新兴市场转移的销售策略。公司管理人员预期，通用今年在中国的总销量有望超过200万辆。

China last year became the world's biggest auto market, with 13.6 million vehicles sold compared to 10.4 million in the United States.

2009年，中国成为世界上最大的汽车交易市场，汽车总销量为1千306万辆，美国汽车全年销量为1千零4万辆。
