However, in addition to China and India, Asia was also a territorial intensively to wait for their pioneering and occupation, that is from 10 countries, 5.5 billion demographic composition of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Southeast Asia regional integration is one of the obstacles is the political differences between countries, such as the military dictatorship in Myanmar, vibrant democracies management Indonesia, as well as communism line Viet Nam and Laos. Among the countries of economic power but also a large gap. Singapore is a wealthy country, Myanmar and Laos were the world's least developed countries.

In the face of the Japanese competitor of "rule" status and South-East Asia Economic and trade aspects of the obstacle, the Detroit three cheqi surrender?.

At present, the Detroit three to Thailand as their breakthrough. They want to Thailand into their export base. Thailand is expected to be in 2010 to produce 150 million cars and trucks, of which half will be used to export. 2015, Thailand automotive production will reach 220 million units.

GM and Ford plan to Thailand to raise annual production of 30 million units. Ford also recently announced that it will invest in Thailand 4.5 million to establish the first factory, the factory alone from 2012 began to produce for export focus of Ford models.

In short, Detroit Cheqi executing Southeast Asia policy is: tenaciously and rixiche enterprises scramble the rapidly growing Southeast Asian automobile market, Thailand into global production and export base, and will gradually be increased to 100 exporting countries.

Southeast Asia's population reaches twice the United States, and the national income is growing. Southeast Asian automotive market battle is a battle for Detroit Cheqi are worth to face battle.
