General Motors Co [GM.UL] Chief Exective Fritz Henderson said on Tuesday it was not on his agenda during his trip to China to talk to Chinese regulators about a deal to sell GM's Hummer brand to Chinese machinery maker Tengzhong.

GM finalised a deal with Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery last Friday on the sale of its Hummer business [ID:nN0975184], although the deal still faces a number of hurdles including required regulatory approvals.
