100% pure unadulterated PR BS.

China does not give a rats ass about carbon emissions, this is just China's way to poke fun at an American industry.

For the life of me i have never understood why the eco-nazis hate hummer so much, its just a restyled Tahoe.

Incorrect.. Do you actually do business in china? They care because large corporations in the US are now unwilling to purchase products from companies in China that could be future PR nightmares.....

Yup.. and stufff like that is turning american companies to force their values and enviromental stewardship on their chinese counterparts.

Trust me.. The company I work for is Giant( like amazingly big) and is now building Leed certified factories in China.

They want to shake the enviromental damaging stigma fast.... Cause it is driving companies away...
