General Motors Co, the world's biggest automaker, boosted its vehicle sales in China in the first half of the year by 11 percent to hit a record high point, driven by demand for the Buick brand and Wuling minivans.

In the first six months, 1.42 million cars and minivans were delivered, according to a statement on the automaker's website on Wednesday. The number of June deliveries increased by 10 percent to reach 213,495 units, the company said.

GM is expecting its sales to continue increasing in China as sluggish deliveries in Europe cloud its outlook for global sales. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said last month that clear signs now indicate the demand for vehicles in the world's largest vehicle market is becoming more stable.
