A planning document given to lawmakers by General Motors reportedly shows that the Detroit-based automaker plans to ship 17,335 autos from China for sale in the U.S. in 2011. If GM succeeds in importing vehicles to the U.S. from China, it could be the first automaker to do so.

Well I was just responding to the comment that China does not allow American cars sold within it's borders. I guess he meant American cars not built in China.
