Despite Romney Claim, Chrysler Isn’t Moving Any Auto Production To China
Source: ThinkProgress
Mitt Romney, attempting to bolster his case to Ohio voters, misinterpreted a story and passed on an outright lie at a rally in the swing state yesterday. Reacting to a Bloomberg News story about auto manufacturer Chryslers plans to open a plant in China, Romney said at a rally in Defiance, Ohio that the company was thinking of moving all production to China, and that he would prevent such action by fighting for every good job in America:
I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep now owned by the Italians is thinking of moving all production to China, Romney said at a rally in Defiance, Ohio, home to a General Motors powertrain plant. I will fight for every good job in America. Im going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if its fair America will win.
The Bloomberg News story, however, doesnt say that Chrysler plans to move all production to China. Instead, it says that Fiat, which now owns Chrysler, is planning to open Chinese factories where it will make one of its most popular lines, Jeep, for Chinese consumers. Chrysler isnt planning to shift production away from the United States. Instead, it will add factories in China to keep up with the nations growing demand for automobiles:

Romney has often struggled with facts about the auto industry. Though he now claims the auto bailout was his idea, his plan to let the private sector finance the bankruptcies of Chrysler and General Motors was reckless and pure fantasy, according to auto industry insiders. By some estimates, it could have cost more than 1 million American jobs.

Liar. Hypocrite. If he was really going to "fight for every good job in America" he could start with Sensata.
