Other recorded holdings in General Motors Company
Holdings that are not control, kept out of the chain above so that nothing on this page reads as ownership when it is not. A joint venture is a company two parents built together: its percentage is a share of the venture, not a holding in the partner. The same pair can appear twice with different kinds, and both rows are real.
| Holder | What it is | Share | Since | What the source says |

What General Motors Company holds
Every current holding recorded from General Motors Company downward: outright ownership, minority stakes, joint ventures and licences, each with the stake as the source states it and the date it began. A joint venture's percentage is a share of that venture, not of the partner.
| Holding | What it is | Share | Since | What the source says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAIC General Motors Co., Ltd. | runs a joint venture with | 50% of the joint venture | 12 June 1997 | General Motors' half of the Shanghai venture that builds Buick and Cadillac for China. |
| SAIC-GM-Wuling | runs a joint venture with | 44% of the joint venture | 2011 | General Motors started at 34% in 2002 and raised its holding to 44% around 2010–11, diluting the Guangxi partner from 15.9% to 5.9%. Unusually for a Chinese joint venture, the vehicles carry Chinese brands rather than GM ones. |
