Chinese software engineering seems to be catching up extremely fast in this regard too. I'm surprised how often I find an interesting new open source tool or library on GitHub and the comments in the code are all in Mandarin.

Chinese devs were never behind, they just don't contribute much in the past and very few were active in open source community.

This is true. So many CNCF projects for example these days have a lot of contributions from Chinese devs or originate from companies like Alibaba/Tencent etc
