A chinese company now owns Hummer, and they have rules out *i believe* to keep other countries from buying too many stocks. Not 100% sure about that last part.

I thought, the Hummer, Saturn, GM was not able to reach a deal on them. Saturn was going to be bought by Penske at one time. But that fell through.

That and the US Govt. stimulus billion$ used to Bail out GM was borrowed from the Chi-Coms. What's the difference?
