Interesting post… but, I think this is not particular to Chinese. I suspect most entreprenuers in the U.S. also don’t like lawyers. For one, they are really costly. Two, they write in a language no one can understand. And three, they make doing business much more difficult. What’s different is that Chinese do not see/accept lawyers as part of their lives yet. Personally, I think we overuse lawyers here in teh US – maybe we can find a happy medium somewhere.

Couldn’t they be reluctant to buy in the US for political reasons? After all, fear over China buying up the United States is very much entrenched in the US. Another reason is the appreciation of the RMB against the dollar, which measn that their investment is almost guaranteed to decline in value.
Still, in spite of the fact that the specific example may have problems, I agree that the larger question is still valid. Chinese people definitely do have an aversion to lawyers. This could be part of the Chinese concept of risk management. Do these same companies have a reluctance to buy insurance?
