General Motors Co. made a case that it has a strategy to reverse its decline in China and chase after Tesla Inc.’s lead in selling electric vehicles in the world’s largest market.

The Detroit-based carmaker outlined its plan to roll out new EVs, gas-burning sport-utility vehicles and intelligent driving and connectivity in China on Wednesday, in virtual presentations from executives including Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra and President of GM China Julian Blissett.
