Question remains: Why did Chinese drywall maker pay?

It's a $3.2 million question without an answer - at least not yet. What changed Taishan Gypsum Co. Ltd.'s mind? The Chinese manufacturer of toxic drywall ignored lawsuits over its products for years. Then, it briefly fought back, claiming U.S. courts couldn't hold it liable for damages its wallboard caused. When that didn't work, the company walked away.
