Aren’t Hummers used as U.S. military vehicles? Is this something we want to move off shore? The Chinese already make ALL our boots! Someone had better wake up.

The Chinese Dongfeng.



Sure looks like China had a plan for the Hummer a while back.

No.. the GM stuff is not related to the military stuff.

The military Humvee is not the same vehicle as the GM commercial version. According to the article the military Humvee is built by a privately owned company in South Bend, IN.

Anyway, I seriously doubt that there is any secret technology in the the Humvee that the Chinese don't already know all about.

The original Hummer was built by AMG. It's suspension and drive train is unique to this vehicle. The Hummer 2 is basically a GM 3/4 ton chassis and drive train, basically the same under rig as a Chevy/GMC Suburban or pickup. Nevertheless, your point is valid in that we will eventually see these vehicles in wide use throughout the Chinese army as their automotive technology sucks...
