China has been trying hard to address environmental issues and while many would agree that they are still far off, you have to give them credit for putting their foot down. The unlucky group caught in this constraint is the Hummer, which many know is a huge gas guzzling vehicle.

While the Asian market is attractive and possibly receptive, the  intervention of the Hummer entering China waters has become a fueled (pun!) contemporary issue. Unless Hummer can prove that this monstrous carbon offender offers something better and new, it won’t be appearing in the Chinese auto market any time soon.

The country’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is also concerned that Tengzhong lacks expertise in car production, the report said, but the company dismissed the story as speculative. Insiders at the company believe that negotiations with regulators are progressing well, that the Chinese government has not taken a view, and that it will assuage any environmental concerns by promising that future generations of Hummers will be significantly greener.
