Thanks for the impressions, I had never thought surfing could so differ by the countrys…May there is a necessity to localize software more than only by language.

China has a huge web presence, which we seem to be completely unaware of, due to the language difference.

QQ Sucks. When I lived in China.. it was the only thing Chinese knew. It’s bogged down more than anything I know, adds and flashing lights- spyware/malware galore! Many many links that most users don’t even use and the average person takes 4 plus clicks through the link madness to reach the place that they intend to go.. none-the-less users will memorize this catacomb of links… god forbid the day they switch up the links or add new ones… Tencent was originally a knock-off of ICQ (I Seek You)… formerly known as OICQ (Oh, I Seek You). Since the drop in popularity in ICQ, the tencent chat prog. was hardly improved on.. missing many of ICQ’s features… sort of a watered down version. Have you ever tried to use MS Messenger or Yahoo! Chat in China? Some days it’s services are blocked by the red wall, other days laggy, etc. etc. It has potential, but is none-the-less a copy-cat.

QQ is a big success in China, almost every internet users in China have a QQ account.
QQ has Chinese/English version on MacOS, Windows and Linux, but the windows version of QQ is the most powerfull version which intergrated the Online game, Video Chat, Voice Chat, Group Chat, Remote Desktop Control/Assistant, Browser, Multi-task Download Manager, Netdisk, Blog, Virtual Pet, Chat Room(like IRC), File transfer, Online Music Player, P2P Video Player…etc, even it has some many functions, but its interface is very user friendly, even a 6 years old child in China knows how to use it(not all of those functions, of course).
Actually, QQ have already became a lifestyle in China, people are using it to keep in touch with there friends, make new friends, read news, play online games, make social groups, store their files, sharing files, listen music, watch movies/TVs, make one-night-standings, business, teaching…etc, even a goverment officer has a QQ number too, QQ’s users are from 6 to 80, that’s really amazing…
I think tencent.com will be the most successful IT company in the world :-)

I am a Chinese person
But I do not know how to tell you
Your point of view is wrong
Internet cafes in China are used for entertainment
People go to Internet cafes to play games just to download movies, what the
Where are all the more students
They just go there to play the
Because the speed of Internet cafes in China than at home soon
And those who stay in their home Internet access
Are doing their job
I would also like to tell you that the Chinese input is very convenient

Good summary! It seems you got them all!

Quick thought on Incentives: with a long and strong social hierarchy in Chinese culture, power or rights is something desired the most in many mindsets. No wonder special rights, e.g. accessibility to other private data, are more attractive to contributors than peers awards.

Also, I would say that “less authorized and authoritative” is more accurate than “less professional” when Chinese people consider Open source. Having authority is somehow crucial in people’s mind when thinking about jobs; again, back to the social hierarchy thing.
