The Autoblog reports that the Chinese military, in conjunction with Dongfeng, has developed a copycat version of AM General’s iconic Humvee. But it seems that the PLA, perhaps as a result of having glimpsed the Humvee’s vulnerability in Iraq, is no longer interested in the vehicle, opting instead for the BJ2S Warrior (see a picture here). So what will Dongfeng do with this vehicle, which required four long years of reverse engineering and intellectual property thieving? It seems they’ll do what any good capitalists would, try and pitch it to the country’s gigantic domestic automobile market, complete with a radio and CD player. The name of the vehicle: The Crazy Soldier.
