It doesn't matter what their legal systems are like. The important thing is that they don't have any assets in Washington (nor anywhere else in the US, most likely). So when they don't show for trial, a default judgment will be handed down and any of the defendant's assets in Washington (none) will be seized to satisfy it. The first-order result of any such trial itself will be Amazon spending many thousands of dollars to obtain a handful of uncollectible judgments. Sometimes such judgments have value on the secondary market, but against a nonresident foreign citizen, forget about it. Presumably their true objective lies elsewhere, as others here have suggested.
