China also does not respect our copyright laws - if you go to China you
can buy commercial U.S. software for $5 on CD, since it's perfectly legal
in China to pirate and sell it, and there's nothing the U.S. government
can do about it.  That's the source of our running joke here at PHT, "If
we made a Chinese ver. of TurboLinux, at least we wouldn't have to pay for
replication..."

This in mind, I think developers who want to be paid might be reluctant to
care at all what Chinese users think/want/etc..
