I think it would be silly for the part of China to fork the Ubuntu code and develop independently. Simply because they are doing this with Canonical, and forking the code would simply kill any advantages of free software.

We tend to bad-mouth China just because they are our economic competitors, however talking about key-loggers on free software and specifically the input method (already exists, GPL license) is an overstretch.
