Re: [AMC-list] Chinese company buying Hummvee!

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

I dunno if it really matters, personally. The Chinese make multi-stage
rockets, are putting up satellites, have excellent telecomm. infrastructure,
build cars, cameras, and pretty much every computer everyone right now is
using (else it's Taiwanese, damn sure it's not American, even Intel CPU fabs
are in Asia), it's not gonna give them anything new. It's not like Hummers
were high-tech, either.
