I don't think joey want to isolate China out in this programming context.
I think the aim of this context is to attract more students and acadamic
users to use solairs.
And because joey is work as University Program Manager in Sun China
Engineering & Research Institute, the biggest acadamic area for him is in
China.
It's his work and I don't think he want to isolate any area in his original
intention. :)

It's too bad that you have issolated China out in such a programming
context.

In the future if another similar program is created and China is issolated
out of it, that will be the same.

I understand some of the limitation with Chinese speaking people, but the
videos will be of less value because they will only be able to be used for
China.

If you build walls around China as you build your community, you will end
up inside of them.

Programming is a international language, and Chinese people do not program
in Chinese as the compilers take a standard syntax that is unfortunately
based around english, or what is more commonly considered the common
international language.

If you want China to get out and play with the rest of the OpenSolaris
community, don't pigeon hole them into a closed society.

Other than that, your program looks awesome. As it stands, it's only good
for a very small subset of the OpenSolaris community, and calling it
OpenSolaris seems to be an oxymoron.

My $0.02 worth of comments, which were solicited in your message.
