China is only a matter of time to me. Ten years from now we will be seeing a lot of Corvettes in China.

So GM should consider the C8 for China?

In China, success is measured almost completely in rear legroom. It seems strange to me, as I am sure it does to others as well. But car companies all over are making special models only for China that have extended wheelbases for more legroom. The sports cars are not selling terrible by any means, but the Chinese seem more attracted to the sedans as of now.
This is why there's a long wheelbase THREE SERIES for sale in China starting this year. Yes. BMW's former entry level car for the United States now comes in baby-limo in China. Because stupid.
