GM car sales in China increase

General Motors Co, the world's biggest automaker, said vehicle sales in China last month increased by 21 percent, boosted by demand for its Wuling minivan and Chevrolet sedans.

Deliveries of cars and minivans increased to 231,183 units in May from 190,674 units a year earlier, the Detroit-based company said on Tuesday. Its sales for the first five months increased 12 percent to 1.2 million units, according to the statement.

GM is "on track" to meet its China sales targets and outperform the industry this year, Kevin Wale, GM country head, said in an interview last week.
