There might be lots of reasons as to why Steve Jobs is not going after these guys, like: a) Chinese Laws may not be favorable. b) He doesn't know where Mr. YJL lives or works, seriously. c) Legal costs. d) Sad to say, Steve Jobs needs China as much as China needs Apple. He need to keep his manu. units in China to keep the costs down. I mean he can't shift his base from China to Pakistan / Bangaladesh (Political Stability), India (Cheep for Services but still costly for manu. Not to say no Infra.), Cambodia / Thailand / VietNam (Cost and /or Political Reasons)
What I don't get here is, has Mr. Jobs ever realised that Mr. Yu from YJL might have 4th cousin twice removed call Mr. Chen who works for Apple's Unit in Shanghai and passing on, you know, "one more thing" info during their family reunion? Even though the new nanos were official released 3 weeks back, they were not shipped till 2 weeks ago. And I dont think they were available so soon in SE Asian / Chinese markets.
So to reverse engineer these beauties and to create their clones, either you need internal docs / design before hand or you need Ben Affleck working for you...
BTW Mr. Chen might be also working for 9to5.com :)
