What's up with Joida stuffs from Hongkong?

There have been tons of Jolida JD100s (and probably the amps too)from Hongkong on sale much cheaper than here. When I emailed Jolida USA they simply said that they don't have any dealers in Asia.

So is the Factory in HK (or China) just make more of them and sell directly to stores in HK? I know that Jolida hires them to make the JD100.

Could someone shred some light on this?

Aside the topic, how reliable are the JD100? I was incline to order one from HK, but one CD skip would offset all the saving.

This is a kind of strange, I think.
If Jolidathe factory viloate the licencing agreement with Joilda to produce a black market units?

It's diferent than Music Hall/ Shanling (MMF-CD25?) as they sell them under thier own Shanling brand, not Music Hall.

Anyway, I have nothing against this.. as it's probably between Jolida and the Factory. Only thing I am concern is would it be able to get a service (whether from Joilda or other repair store) at all if the unit is bought outside USA.

This is happening with Nikon products. Nikon USA refuses to do any services on grey market products. The owner have to find thier own repair store. Would be big deal to repair some advance Nikon Model (like F100 and F5).

I meant to say if the factory makes more of the units and sell them in the black market, wouldn't the factory violate the licensing agreement that they have with Jolida? As it's obviously that Jolida hires them to make it (as well as Lau?).
