General Motors Chairman and CEO Daniel Akerson participated in today’s opening of the first phase of the GM China Advanced Technical Center (ATC) in Shanghai. The new facility, which is adjacent to the GM International Operations and GM China Headquarters, will carry out important research and development for GM on a worldwide basis.

“The ATC is an integral component of GM’s global technology development strategy,” said Akerson. “As one of GM’s most important and comprehensive technical and design facilities, it will lead GM’s global research and development efforts in targeted areas. Working with our company’s other technical centers, it will share the latest achievements and expertise to drive the innovation of tomorrow’s technology.”

With the CEO of GM making comments like these, it's not exactly difficult to fathom the movement of domestic production to China.
 
The bottom line, politics aside, jeeps sold in China will continue to be made there, Jeeps sold in N America will continue to be made there. This per Sergio Marchionne, Chrysler CEO.

Correct, and here is the Sergio quote from ChinaAutoWeb May 10. 2010
http://chinaautoweb.com/2010/05/fiat-to-re-introduce-jeep-to-china/

"...Now that Fiat, Chrysler’s new owner, has officially returned to China and began building factories, there will be Chinese-made Jeep SUVs again in as early as 2014.

In a recent interview, John Kett, vice president and CEO of Chrysler’s Asia-Pacific operations, confirmed this, echoing Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne’s words that Fiat is to have a production capacity of 300,00 units a year in China within five years through its joint venture with GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Group Co.). And Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, will be the location of the production base."
