As China continues its investigation into foreign auto companies, General Motors has confirmed that it has been contacted in the nation by antirust officials.
GM said its passenger-vehicle joint venture in the nation was contacted by the National Development and Reform Commission. That venture, Shanghai GM, is run by GM and SAIC Motor Corp. The company said Monday the NDRC’s pricing and antimonopoly units are probing the firm.
