Absurdity, Allegory and China

I started following the U. S. tainted drywall story back in January (2009), since one of the main Chinese drywall manufacturers is located here in Tianjin: Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. Ltd. Since then the story has grown and is now making it’s way awkwardly through the U. S. courts. For those who end up here in their search for info concerning this issue I recommend that you head over to China Law Blog, where Dan Harris of Harris and Moure has a lot of very good information concerning the drywall cases and how this may likely play out in China. See his most recent post Chinese Drywall Cases Make U.S. Lawyers Angry. I Want My Lex Americana! with links to several other posts specifically regarding the drywall problem, as well as other links concerning the enforcement of legal judgments in China. If you are holding out hope that China will take U. S. legal judgments concerning Chinese companies seriously, you need to spend a bit of time digging into China Law Blog. You may not like what you learn, but it is information you need to have when you sit down with your States-based counsel.
