I think, maybe, that theory depends on more...."predictability"...than the Chinese legal system has. I don't have enough knowledge of what really transpired at each step to say with any certain at all what went wrong. I'm sure the information that is available to me, or to anyone on this side of the lake, is only a small subset of the information we'd need to go too far beyond speculation. All I can say is that it's clear that doing business in China involves a lot of risk, and one of the reasons is exactly what you mention. I agree that the courts there are not predictable. They aren't there to protect American interests, certainly, and we can't expect them to do that.
