Any foreign investment involving USD 100 million or above requires the approval of the Ministry of Commerce, and the provincial Commerce Department can handle the following 100 million dollars.  This means that if Tengzhong's purchase of Hummer is no more than 100 million dollars, then the provincial business sector can be directly dealt with.

It may be that Morgan Stanley's relationship with Tengzhong is too intimate to make the media "misunderstand".  1 billion is not a problem?
