I don't really think there is anything special. I don't actually grow up in China as a programmer but when I was a kid PHP was a big thing due to the popularity of BBS like phpBB and Chinese's Discuz!. You can find Python, Java, C++, and .NET just like in America. Though I find (based on limited experience) Ruby is not a very popular language in China.
edit: here is a list from 2012: http://www.ithome.com/html/it/25225.htm http://www.ithome.com/html/it/25225.htm
chart 1, 2, 3: Shenzhen, Shahai, Bejing
chart 4, 5, 6: worldwide, US, India
Since many Chinese projects are system-level and scientific. Plus there is a huge gaming industry in China.

- laowai_time 13y agoWow, those charts are really surprising. Maybe it's just because I'm a web developer and sort of walled off inside the foreigner tech scene, but in my experience most companies here (in Shanghai) seem to exist in either Java or PHP land (based on what my boss has said about hiring and job postings I've seen).
