Although their goal was to finalize the deal in the third quarter of this year, representatives of the two companies were unable to finalize the deal at a meeting in Detroit before the end of September.
The sale, originally announced in June after GM emerged from a period of bankruptcy protection, was delayed by a request from China's Ministry of Commerce for more information and concerns that embracing the Hummer would not be in line with China's energy policies.
However, the MOC and China's National Development and Reform Commission are now backing the deal, a source told the South China Morning Post on Saturday.
