Open a 400 person coding shop in Ningbo and try to get everyone there to write in English, or even understand it. Good luck with that.

Working in markets with large numbers of non English speakers is quite difficult, as the article implies. Very profitable though. Chinese people like games as much as we do, and they will actually pay for them!!!

Yes, the Chinese would never pirate software!

They pirate plenty of software, including games, but they pay big money for the virtual goods you sell inside the games!
