Most of patches from chinese hackers are specialize in chinese support or i18n. At the same time, unfortunately most of them don't know how to communicate with the upstreams. In face, the chinese hackers do lots of i18n work. Such as CLE (Chinese Linux Extent), TurboLinux Chinese, they have released most of their work about Chinese under GPL license. We are joining the main stream of opensoure society, but please notice the real opensouce history in China is less than seven years. There are already many users of Linux in collages of China now. As I known, the OS lesson of many collages is based on Linux now. And I myself am a Debian Developer. I believe you will see more and more opensoure projects from China in future.
