jolida of china v. jolida of maryland?

who actually makes the stock jd100A cd players that all the audio magazines rave about? seems that china was the initial makers of these & that maryland was only there distributor!? a lawsuit apparently agrees. jolida.net explains on their website where they sell these MD simply copied there design & even used inferior parts?
what i want to know is who made the stock units not modded units in the audiophile type reviews in magazines that were done?
normally, i buy american but i like to support honesty.
