They put that code in github, releasing it to non-chinese developers.

Won't it be good if code has at least some documentation in English ? It's not that they don't want, they have some part in English.

GitHub isn't just for English users

Last time I checked English was the 3rd most spoken language on the planet.

- Chinese

- Spanish

- English

You mean in tech?

That's ordering by native speakers. If you count non-natives, English has far more speakers than Spanish (but far less than Mandarin).

Also, English is the most widely spoken too, by a wide wide margin.
