If true the fedgov should block the sale or cancel their military contracts.

Seriously - we want Soldiers and Marines charging into battle using Chinese equipment?

I don’t think so!
Homey don’t play ‘dat.

My understanding is that the sale only includes commercial vehicles on GM truck platforms, not the military vehicles. Two entirely different platforms. I hope I’m correct.

China already has the DongFeng (yes, it is really spelled that way)

see http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/08/21/dongfeng-makes-the-crazy-soldier-ready-for-civillian-use/ for fotos.

Should be for sale in the US late next year.
