Well, mainly because the Chinese happily take their money to provide these
guys with bulletproof hosting since they are unable to host their
spamvertisements in the US any longer, unless they are willing to pay MCI or
Internappies the premium pink rate like the Spur-M and enlargement guy seems
to do nowadays.

So without the Chinese, Korean and Brazilian collaboration they'd have a
hard time selling anything, hence a hard time carrying on spamming. Hosting
and name services are the key collaborators, so in that regard I lump
Germany (Jokester) and UK (SpewCows) in with the other foreign countries you
mention above. of course there are collaborators in the US too, we all know
who they are.
