So far as I can tell from percentage breakdowns by country in Alexa,
the Chinese go to hudong and zh.wikipedia.org equally often- virtually
the same number of page hits. However, hudong ranks 112 and
wikipedia.org ranks 66 in China, which tells you that a lot of people
are reading the other languages more than Chinese.

We live in an imperfectly imperfect world. Life in a perfectly
imperfect world would be *much* better. Life in an imperfectly perfect
world would be pretty ghastly though.
