Perhaps he didn't see my post.

Even if I accept your assessment of the reliability of undisclosed anonymous unconfirmed sources, which I do not, that does not mean there is no presence of Chinese-language programming in Java outside of mainland China. However, some brief googling for use of Java in (mainland) China indicates that there is some, for example in the Android mobile-phone market. Chinese outsourcing companies also produce a goodly amount of Java and Java EE software. According to http://www.codeweblog.com/java-language-overview/ "... in China, Java is also in full swing" (Surely the pun was unintentional) (This does not strike me as more reliable than your unreliable sources, however having equally unreliable but contradictory information is informative in its own way.) There was at one time a "China Java Users Group", https://cnjug.dev.java.net/, thoughit does not seem extant now. <http://www.geometricglobal.com/Corporate/Careers/Current+Opportunities/Opportunities+in+China/index.aspx> has a job opportunity for a Java/J2EE developer in Shanghai. Oh, look! Here's a posting from today (23 May, 2010) for a Java Software Engineer in Beijing: <http://jobs.thomsonreuters.com/job/BEIJING,-BEIJING,-CHINA-Java-Software-Engineer-Job/778416/> So much for how "reliable" your sources are. -- Lew Don't quote sigs.
