The company finally found one, but it failed the feng shui test (a couple of the founders were Chinese).

Then we wouldn't even be in the position for the Chinese (or anyone else) to threaten us like that.

I think there is some evidence that the Chinese were given some sort of security but no one said what that was.

Especially Chinese investors because they are heavily investing in Europe right now.

And has anyone have experience with buying a Chinese drywall home?

i'm a 'tropical islander' at heart and apparently it shows thru and thru cuz the local latinos tend to often tell me i must be from somewhere 'tropical' and at the same time i often getting asked if i'm japanese or part japanese. but for now i'm luvin socal, and i wouldnt say the LAC market is bad, just its soo comparatively premium priced across the board, even entry level bargains (i posted a thread on BP encompassing yesterday somewhere encompassing LA market) and the inventory is piling up due to sellers affected by the hyperinflation of the US dollar against imported Chinese Japanese and Korean funds galore!

Chinese food or pizza? 

To pull the poly thru the sleeve , go to a irrigation supplier and buy a chinese pipe grip  get a rope thru first then pull.  

Chinese stock market took a nosedive (~25%) this week and last.

Not looking to hire, and when I do it will be a Chinese speaker fresh out of college, but thanks for the offer. :)
