Poster here-- I came across this as a link in a previous HN article [1] and thought it would be interesting to folks here.
I live in China and it truly is a parallel universe when it comes to computing. Local clones of everything, from iPhones to farmville. However to own an actual Apple product is a huge status symbol (iPhones, but especially iPads and Airs). The green "IE" logo is an attack vector that is completely consistent with the ersatz nature of all computing in China.

The article is not informative and seems paid for, hence why it shouldn't be up voted. Beijing is its own bubble of course (more macs than other cities) but Im sure IE has the lead in Chinese browser market share.
