China blocks Google 2. Technical users in China use VPN to circumvent said block, while non-technical users switch to something else 3. Technical users search for programming language terms a lot 4. Thus the normalized ratio of (programming language search queries) / (total search queries) is a lot higher in China compared to other countries where Google isn't blocked
