That's a good question.  From what I've heard software piracy there is 
illegal on the books, but in practice it's tolerated.  A few years ago I 
read something in the Register about the Chinese government trying to 
promote a version of linux that was supposed to be customized for China.

I wouldn't touch if even if I could read Chinese.  There's no telling 
how many security holes are in it and how many undocumented back doors 
are built in by design.
