I'm not sure all the details but there is an article in the November 29th issue 
of  Wards Automotive Reports, a weekly news letter. Basically it says SAIC will 
buy 70% as you noted but will then have control of all intellectual rights.  
Plans are to jointly develop cars to sell in both Europe and China.

What is your source?  I can't find that on Google or the MG BBS or my local
news this morning which covers the area containing the HQ.  They have been
in negotiation for some time for a joint venture in China where SAIC will
own 70% and MG Rover 30% but MG Rover in the UK will remain wholly owned as
before, but in return for a cash injection.

> In case you hadn't heard SAIC has purchased MG Rover.  The deal will take
effect early next year.
