The right move.
I cannot believe the amount of bigotry and close minded thinking out there. Like or loath it China is a factor in any successful car company surviving into the future.
Apart from being a top 2 market, they are an innovation hub despite thier dubious reputation for IP plagiarism. As an economy they are leapfrogging the ice engine era to get a good spot in the new electric or clean mobility segement.
BMW would be foolish if it did not position itself to capitalise on these realities.
As far as I am concerned, if it means they can make money and secure a future as result, then good for them and more of chance that they can indulge in producing the cars that we like.
