Ah, I see. I have no clue what language that is or anything, but I decided to look up "Chinese keyboard" on google images, and was slightly surprised/disappointed.
Although, I was a little puzzled by this thing:
That's huge, and so strange.

I guess mods will soon move the thread to OT. Anyway here is mine:
There are several ways of imputting Chinese, the most common one being typing the word's pronunciation. It's like if we want to type New Jersey Nets, we do "xin ze xi wang" (their Chinese Pinyin) and the software installed in our computer will convert it into 新泽西网. So we don't really need another set of keyboard. It's the converting software that is necessary.
The trick is there are a lot more homophones in Chinese than in English, so sometimes we'll have to pause to select the right character from a bunch of irrelevant homophones and it slows down our typing speed -- not by much though, 'cause good converting softwares sort of "judge" the context within phrases and present the most likely combinations on top of the list.
Still people deviced imputting methods based on strokes or components. The idea is to match certain strokes respectively with keys on keyboards and to break down each Chinese character into these strokes. This is the fastest Chinese imputting method known but the thing is, you must memorize which stroke matches with which key.
I for one, am among the whole lot of Chines people out there who are content with the first method. However professional typists are required to master the other one.

How did I find it?
NetsDaily gets a daily report of where the traffic comes from. The overwhelming majority is direct...people type in netsdaily or have it in their bookmarks. But a small percentage comes from other sites that link to NetsDaily. TureHoop, for example, often links to NetsDaily. So do the local papers. But you might be surprised--I know I was--to learn that on an average day, the largest percentage of linked traffic, about one percent of total traffic, comes from China, from hoopchina and vc15.cn.
RJ FOR YI! MORE TRAFFIC! MORE SNEAKER DEALS FOR PLAYERS AT THE END OF THE BENCH! DO IT ROD!
Did you know that every player on Rockets other than Yao has a Chinese sneaker deal and that Shane Battier does commercials in Chinese on Chinese TV. Let a thousand endorsements bloom!!

LOL yeah I noticed that on the Nets highlights I've uploaded to this year the Yi fans are extremely quick in attacking and down voting anything that includes Jianlian

So does Saudi. When I was in Saudi three years ago and went to Hoopshype, I noted that several of the advertisements were blocked...scantily clad babes. The main hoopshype page was fine, just the ads had a 404 Error.

Here in Hong Kong, because we are a special administrative region all websites are accessible.
Nothing here in Hong Kong is banned, we even got the worlds largest maleUnderwear Ad in the world by Calvin Klein in the middle of one of the most crowded streets
But ive heard, in Mainland China websites such as BBC are banned, due to the government being afraid of foreign influence.

Well, it's a matter of degree.

Yes we do have many people -- guys and girls, for the number of active and vocal female fans are large @ HoopChina -- doing translation on news articles and interviews.

Oh it's not a big deal. I can think of a couple, but you get to see what you want through proxy. After all we occasionally get banned by you as well don't we? Our students studying abroad, in Europe and in America, have been complaining about not being able to look up certain pages from Chinese sites too. So.
Ah we do have difficulties accessing to sendspace, which I still can't figure out why.

completly don't want to go off topic, but I agree with Jigga.
how is it that the Vietnam war was our "fight against communism" yet 40 years later we rely on China for nearly all of our products/economy? It's mostly a Communist-run country. Yet, we won't deal with Cuba still.
anyway...good to see foreign basketball sites, that always brings a smile to my face.

Well I do think China does try to limit foreign influence, because I remember reading that Rush Hour 3 wasn't played in theatres in China despite how popular Jackie Chan is.
However China limits only 10 foreign films to play there per year.

The chinese goverment is rapidly changing in recent years, i guess they want to grow more internationally. With their upcoming 2008 Beijing olympics, they are going to try to open up to different Trans-National corporations to invest.
What is annoying tho is that the regular season NETS games..... I have to watch via the internet.
I have NBA TV, but its international version. 1 Game per day. Sometimes none during playoffs.
But ESPN has some games.
This is a foreign chinese website i use to check the TV schedule games during the Playoffs/regular season:
www.nbahk.com

No more than 20 foreign blockbusters per year, to be precise. Again this has nothing to do with xenophobia but, well, with diffidence about the attraction of domestic production. The bureau consider it a way to show support to our producers and directors. That said, RH3's promotion is still all over the place and you know there's a way to see it regardless if it's imported or not.
Talking about games, I don't mind watching via the Internet. I love Marv and Mark Jackson combo (it's a shame MJ quitted). Jim and the new guy are o.k.
The commentators for both our national and local sports channels are Yao and Yi homers without question. It is shameful to admit but they do say unprofessional things about other teams and players. The Taiwan guys are better in comparison, however I'm not very into their accents.
