Although Hummer, And China

Fare thee well, Hummer. Go guzzle up the rest of the world's gas. Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp. has made a deal to purchase the Hummer brand from GM.
GM and Tengzhong said in a statement that the transaction still must be approved by the U.S. and Chinese governments, although and Chinese regulators initially expressed reservations about Tengzhong's ability to run such an enterprise.

I'm guessing the first part of this sentence started off positive to contrast with the "reservations," something like, "The transaction is expected to be approved straight away..." Then someone decided it was a little too positive (or negative, depending which side of the economy you're on), so they lopped it off and tacked on something else. But their aim was a little off and they missed that pesky little "although."
