Don't worry, they haven't realized that GM essentially bought the name HUMMER from General, they'll learn shortly that the H2 and H3 couldn't get through a shopping mall parking lot and the most off-road they do is hitting a mulch bed on the way to soccer practice.

You have to forgive me here as I am not up-to-date on my Hummer info. So this sale does not include the original H1? I was under the impression that GM owned that as well? Is the original H1 still under General?

The original H1 (yes) is not the true HUMMER. Don't worry, the military isn't dumb. Like selling Pakistan F16s without radar

GM terminated the H1 production line in 2006. So all the Chinese are really getting is the H2 and H3 lines. Even if they were somehow able to re-start H1 production, HUMMERs are far from state-of-the-art these days.
Start worrying when Obama sells them the Stryker assembly line...
