After Tour Of Humvee Plant, Clinton Says She'll Get Tough On China

Last updated on Monday, April 14, 2008

(MISHAWAKA) - Senator Hillary Clinton told workers at AM General’s Humvee plant Saturday that she’ll get tough on China.

The New York Democrat said she's concerned about defense industry jobs being sent to other countries and, if elected president, she would give a complete review to U.S. Department of Defense purchasing practices.

"They've been imposing some rules that just don't make sense to me," she said.

One of those has to do with axles made for M1-A1 Abrams tanks, which are made in Central Indiana.

Before her discussion, Clinton toured the Humvee assembly line, asking questions about how the ubiquitous military trucks are built.
