Interesting that China didn’t post a photo of their vehicle with their article. The appearance of it must be top secret or something(??).

I hope its crash tests are better than the Chinese Chery car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F3nLj9ljWo

[Does so]

"...Use by the Chinese military force has proven that "Mengshi" overtakes Humvee in 12 indices, including the loading capacity and oil consumption, and are well-matched with Humvee in three other indices, Huang was quoted as saying by Monday's Economic Information Daily, a Xinhua publication..."

Indices aren't mentioned. :-\

Rear seat legroom, glove compartment capacity and ease of hubcap removal?

Its not a state secret: Google is your friend. And it does resemble the Humvee! All Chinese-produced. Without further ado, here is the Mengshi:

Dofeng Mengshi

No word on a civilian version for the Chinese and foreign export market.

For Glorious report of Better Chinese Humveeee...er Mengshi, we mean.

Better Chinese testing agents have found that glorious Chinese Humveeee...er Mengshi, we mean, out performs lowly and badly made U.S. vehicles.

Unbiased Chinese testing further confirms that glorious Chinese Humveeee...er Mengshi, we mean, will always be better than capitalist pig American vehicle.

Chinese testing was performed without telling testing agents that they would be imprisoned in a hole so dark that no light gets in nor were they threatened that their organs would be ripped from their still war bodies and sold on black market. Testing agents swore of their own free will that glorious Chinese Humveeee...er Mengshi, we mean, is best ever seen in whole of world.

We are just better. Face it pigs.

The HMMWV went into service in 1984. The Chinese are copying it 20 years later and this is somehow impressive?

[RoadTest]

“The “Mengshi (Warriors)” off-road military vehicle produced by Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor surpasses U.S. Humvee in 12 out of 15 major battlefield performance indices, chief designer Huang Song has said.”

So - - - if you don’t believe the Chinese vehicle is better than the Humvee, just ask the designer of it. He’ll tell you.

I haven’t read all posts, but thought I’d mention that GM which manufactures Hummers is doing some manufacturing in China. I’m not sure what vehicles and what the arrangement is with China, but it appears on the surfaceChina has GM’s blueprints for the Hummer.

[Tainan]

It must be true....The PLA says so.

[FreeAtlanta]

It took them 6 years to take apart and reverse engineer a hummer?

[ScottyinTN]

The article says it weighs 1.5 tons? Is it made of tin foil?

My Nissan Sentra weighs more than that.

[sasquatch]

Mengshi” overtakes Humvee in 12 indices

How does it compare to a Predator?

[x1stcav]

The Hummer design is now 25+ years old. Even the Chicoms might come up with improvements.
