Now the Chinese can stop those #%$&*@ Mongolians...

Sounds like the Hummer might get an improvement.

How can a fleet of Hummers meet CAFE standards?

Chinese buying up more of America.

And we were told by the free traders on this site those pesky trade deficits didn't matter.

Obama’s African relatives back in Africa are doing what Africans have always done - selling other Africans into slavery. Chinese companies in Africa partaking in the natural resources treat the African workers like dogs. Let’s hope UAW rank & file get the same treatment.

Wonder who donated $700 million in the last election to O? China and the Saudis.

We get stuck with Obama...and the Chinese get a Hummer.

Zero is such a putz. At least with Clinton our president got the hummer.

TREASON

That's a little harsh. It's just a brand name dude.

Limbaugh was just talking about this.

The buyer has never made vehicles, but aspires to do so.

(According to Limbaugh.)

We get stuck with Obama...and the Chinese get a Hummer.

There is a Bill Clinton joke in there somewhere. :-)

Is this the company that was making the copy of the Humvee? Now they own the real thing.

I believe that Hummer is more than just the civilian division. Do the Chinese now own the production of our military Humvee?

[Antoninus]

There you go. Now our military can get their equipment from a Chinese supplier.

This is what happens when you elect someone who hates his own country to rule it.

How can a fleet of Hummers meet CAFE standards?

By never being run?

[Cyclone59]

so with new Chinese ownership, where will the US military purchase new Humvees from? And, if they thought the armour plating was thin before, they haven’t seen anything yet.

[bereanway]

Do the Chinese now own the production of our military Humvee?”

*****\

My question as well.

[Buckeye McFrog]

This allows the ChiComs to take care of their good buddy, Bill Clinton (since Bill is always out looking for a Hummer.....)

[wrench]

Soon to be available in the automotive section of your neighborhood WalMart.

[5thGenTexan]

Hummer is just a civilian brand, but that GM division also makes the Humvee. If that goes, too, then the Chinese now own our military vehicle manufacturing.

That's about as smart as us buying Mitsubishi Zeros in WWII, isn't it?

[technically right]

Who really believes that STHIM will continue to build Hummers in the U.S. for more than a year of two. Why pay the UAW 80 bucks an hour when you can get them built in China for 15 and ship them to the States.

[dragnet2]

The new Hummer will be scaled down to the size of a mini cooper. Car and Driver Magazine says the hood will be be glow paint orange, so everyone knows it’s only a toy.

The military Humvee is made by AM General in South Bend, IN, as was the original Hummer H1, which is no longer made for commercial sale. See here:
