General Motors is under fire for reportedly helping to sponsor a Chinese propaganda film to celebrate the upcoming 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. GM signed up Cadillac as the “chief business partner” in producing “The Great Achievement of Founding the Party” set to debut in China in June. To promote it, Communist officials are being chauffeured around in Cadillac SLSs. As to why Cadillac is supporting a glowing whitewash of the history of Chinese Communism, Cadillac now sells more cars in China than in the US.
- That’s because when you buy one Chinese Cadillac you want to buy another one an hour later.
- GM officials are said to be red in the face.
- Over there, “GM” stands for…
“General Mao-ters”
