Technically, they already did that when they sold the brand to Spyker. If SAAB had been successful, there is no reason that they couldn't sell cars in China--VM is a pretty good deal broker. If they were successful enough that they didn't need Chinese money, but accepted a Chinese partner at some future date, I wonder if GM still would have killed the deal at that point. We'll never know.
All GM had to do was kill the IP license agreements, not the whole deal. I think that GM's reasons are more sinister. They have been getting plenty of grief from the public and the press over their mishandling of the Saab brand since the first kill shot. The last thing they want is to have some other car company make Saab a success--especially a Chinese one. I think that they are aware that Saab could have sold a Buick-beater in China. And that is the brand that GM is selling well in China.
