Looks like a 'typical' Chinese operation. And look: they're hiring a GUI designer [高级美术设计师(GUI设计师)]! http://www.nibirutech.com/careers.html Why bother?

Living here in China, one of the things that strikes me is that there is a complete disregard for the value of creative work. This is, of course a generalization, but for the most part, the education system here emphasizes rote learning. I've got a ton of thoughts/observations related to this (I attend a lower tier university here) but looking at the MobileRSS site, I'm reminded that great design demands taking risks and demands careful thought, neither of which is emphasized, culturally, here.
