"A Chinese firm's bid to buy the gas-guzzling Hummer car brand will be blocked on environmental grounds, according to Chinese state radio."
This just made my head explode.
I wished the news about blocking the purchase of Hummer is true. The last thing we need is an extremely environmentally unfriendly thing being kept, by the Chinese, or anyone. The Hummer brand should go away. Those Chines business people are usually short sighted, only focused on short term profit and with no regards toward the world and humanity. In short, they don't give a shit about other things.
Hummer.
How ironic that China is buying some poorly-constructed crap from the USA
Probably because China can't produce anything better, certainly nothing that can pass US, EU or even Russian crash safety tests.
Oh, the US congress blocked the Hummer deal weeks ago.
Bad, bad China.
