Ethereum doesn't have a strong focus on China, hence the rise of NEO, often called 'The Chinese Ethereum' However recent regulations perhaps limit their Shanghai based development team, the Chinese projects that will be based on NEO and the amount of Chinese investment & users NEO based projects will attract.
Aeternity is free from those restrictions and with its greater focus on private smart contracts would also be appealing to many Chinese based projects, investors & users alike. It seems the 'Chinese Ethereum' is more likely to be Aeternity than NEO.
Given NEO's $1.5 Billion valuation, it may be worth considering whether Aeternity should more actively pursue that market, via a small Chinese speaking team.
Maybe you are right. We are already seeing big influx of Chinese people in AE's Telegram, that's a good sign. Don't know about Chinese speaking community managers though.
