The big difference is they are a communist country . If you do not pay over there you do not get 5 to 10 years or the courts to help save your butt. They walk in and tell you to leave the country and leave everything you own . They can and do that. Yes not everyday but it does happen. A coworker of my dads had a son working in China, that happen to their construction company. Just look at most older big cities in the USA that have old run down buildings , the owners are always behind on taxes.
