Maybe we're trying to solve the wrong end of the problem here. How hard can it really be to get China to officially adopt a Western language? :-)
And Japan , Korea , Taiwan and HongKong.which use the old chinese chars.. J Because of the issues (eg C# and Java indexing don't work ) Unicode is NOT a standard in China the official way is a byte encoding on Ascii ( Derivatives of Big8 and Big5) . It may be worth getting the input from a government connected Chinese academic ( im sure there is a language institute etc ) as it's a huge problem in China and one of the reasons for poor software quality. If BitC gets some traction here in academic / government circles it would be useful. Ben
