In the final outcome it may be none other than Tiger Truck of Texas/Oklahoma that gets the chance to import Zhongxing's Grand Tiger to the U.S..
Gasgoo.com has reported that Chang'an is in talks with Zhongxing with an interest in acquiring the latter. Seems that Chang'an would like to add the mid-sized pickup trucks to its lineup of vehicles. If Chang'an does get approval to make the acquisition, it's possible Tiger Truck may then see fit to add the Zhongxing pickups to its list of Chang'an work vehicles imported to the U.S., and other North America destinations.
But gasgoo.com has also reported that FAW and GM are in talks with Zhongxing with regards to ways of cooperating......whatever that turns out to mean. FAW would like some substantial pickups and SUVs to upgrade its current rinky dink offering in that segment.

Meanwhile "the original Chamco", would-be importer of Zhongxing to the U.S., is still hopeful that it can bring Zhongxing to its senses, so that the latter reverses its recent decision to cut ties. The Chamco.com website mentions an imminent meeting between the two former collaborators. (see chamco.com)
Finally, Zhongxing has big dreams of diversifying, as seen in its new 51/49 venture with its Changchun-based partner Chanlin (Changling). But for want of investors willing to inject capital, progress there has been slow.
