ABC and NBC filed a pair of China stories. ABC's Bianna Golodryga told us that the next time we buy a Volvo, it will not be a Swedish car, nor one produced by Ford Motors, its current owner. Geely has bought the brand for $1.8bn: "What China lacks is quality and fashionable brand names that consumers both in China and abroad want to buy." NBC's Mark Potter reminded us that back in 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the construction trades suffered a shortage of drywall. That gap was filled by Chinese imports, product that is now decaying, emitting pungent fumes, corroding wiring and sickening residents. Potter's report was a follow-up on initial suspicions about fake gypsum this time last year. In the meantime CBS' Armen Keteyian and ABC's Elisabeth Leamy have both filed updates.
