Horowitz’s case is a cautionary tale for Americans doing business in China, where laws and customs differ markedly from those of the United States. Under Chinese law, for example, foreigners with pending civil cases can be barred from leaving China until the matter is settled, experts in Chinese law said.

Burns me up, why we have anything to do with those POSs.

After doing business in China for nearly two decades, Horowitz said, he’s never going to return. Instead, he said, he’ll deal with manufacturers in Taiwan and elsewhere.

“I don’t owe this money. But because they filed a lawsuit and I had no way to defend my rights, I can’t go home,” Horowitz said.

No way to defend your rights. That's right. Don't bother calling the DeptofState; Hillary's too busy blasting the "vast right wing conspiracy."

I am having a very hard time working up any sympathy for this guy. He KNEW what he was getting into a long, long time ago.

[Dallas59]

Bammy is too busy defending the rights of illegal immigrants you silly American!

[Brilliant]

Debtors’ prison.

He could always travel to NE China and sneak across the border into North Korea. Oh, wait....never mind.

This AH want to do business in Communist China?

I hope they keep him.

[familyop]

He should get along well in his choice of a communist country, and that should be his permanent home.

Expect to see more of this sort of thing happening.

I had a small business owner friend who was invited by the PRC to visit and discuss a trade deal.

He went, ate the food, went to the opera, toured a bit, and met with the trade "partners".

Then he came home and adamantly refused further contact.

PS: Taiwan is another story, if the US allows them to live.

Sounds like your average traffic stop...in Mexico.
