Re. Alyon's comment ("Big surprise. Business ethics in ...China are almost non-existent"), absolutely true. Chinese business is *FOUNDED* on a culture of instant/selfish gain (rather than long-term/cooperative benefit). "Relationship! Relationship!" I'm sick of hearing it. We're owed forty-thousand dollars. Once labor in China ceases to be "free," and external costs (like *&%^% on the earth) become realized, China may remain a great market, but it will become a crappy producer as the "true cost" of cockamamie Chinese business practices are realized.
