iPad fans will remark all day long that Android is a failure because there are no truly successful 10" tablets that compare to iPads. 7" tablets are casually dismissed as not being useful. This will all change of course once Apple releases a smaller form factor tablet at which time all the Apple fans will declare that finally a true 7" tablet has been released.

I lived in Beijing for 4 years and to be honest it's not going to be super easy to land an IT job as there are plenty of qualified local chinese engineers for most any task and they are going to be cheaper than you. That being said if you are somewhat lucky you might find a good gig.

Look for IT listings on the websites of the local monthly english language magazines:

Go to the local user group meetings and network such as the Beijing Linux user group:

http://www.clubbeautiful.com/ (strange domain I know)

These guys have been around a long time and do outsourcing work for large european companies mostly:

These guys provide local hosting services and may possibly an avenue:

From that same Wikipedia article:

"Mao Zedong encouraged population growth and China's population almost doubled from around 550 to over 900 million during the period of his leadership."

I lived in China for several years and it's common knowledge that the one child policy is in part a reaction to the earlier policies that encouraged population growth under Mao's reign.

Mandriva Linux 2010 Is Finally Out 267

ennael writes "We finally did it. Mandriva Linux 2010 is out and comes with many improvements and innovations. We still go on supporting in the same level of integration GNOME 2.28 and KDE 4.3.2. Support for netbooks is improved as users can now easily test Moblin 2.0 environment. 'Smart desktop' coming from European research is now fully integrated and is the first real working semantic desktop. Mandriva Control Center also brings improvements in tools: a new netprofile management tool, a GUI for Tomoyo security framework, and parental control. A big thanks to our community, who worked hard and made this release possible."
