Does anyone know if that includes the Humvee lines that the US military uses?
If so, that kinda doesn't seem wise.

To the Liberals that run this country (now, anyway) it matters not what we sell or to whom we sell it. Everything and anything for a price. Think I'm kidding? Look at your recent history.

Under Carter we gave back the Panama Canal. A CHi-Com company now runs both ends of the canal. What happens to it or passage thru it if the 'balloon' goes up?

The US Military needed a new supplier of combat boots. Who was strongly considered for the contract? Yep, the Chi-Coms.

During the Clinton Years Loral was allowed to sell highly secretive bearing manufacturing Technology to the Chinese (Reds). Prior to this they couldn't get a rocket off the pad without it blowing up. They were a joke. Now they are going to launch their first "satellite' killer into space. In a span of about ten years they went from laughing stock to damn serious threat. And WHERE do you suppose that high tech went? The North Koreans are now sending long range missles all over Asian air space and have even threatened US!!! And do you think for a moment they wouldn't launch a nuke if they felt seriously threatened. Bye-Bye Tokyo or Ancorage. And now the Iranians are doing the same tests and threatening to fry another six million Jews in Israel!

I have no doubt the Humvee is part of the package. Makes perfect sense when a Liberal is running the show in Washingtoon...

The Army says the answer is NO

Looks like "regulators" (primarily on the Chinese side) might block the sale anyway.
