This is the funniest thing i've heard all day. Reliable

Someone that I have been conversing with for many years was
one of these two sources.
But given that:
- China is the country in the world with most internet users
- China is the second largest IT outsourcing country
- China has its own Linux distro, own OOo version etc.
- China has huge internet sites that are real competitors
to Google, FaceBook etc.
then assuming IT in China is crippled does not sound as
a smart assumption.
There is also more direct evidence that is inconsistent with the
assembly language only theory. For example, see
http://www.cs.sjtu.edu.cn/data/Computer%20Science%20Curriculum.pdf, the
Undergraduate Program Curriculum & Course Description for the
School of Electrical and Information Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong
University.
"CS 315. Object-Oriented System Design:
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Software design and construction in the context of
large OOP libraries. May be taught in C++ or Java. Topics: review of
OOP, the structure of Graphical User Interface (GUI) OOP libraries, GUI
application design and construction, OOP software engineering
strategies, approaches to programming in teams."
The natural language issue may not be much of a hindrance for those
students. The "Common Core Required By The University" includes four
English courses, and the students are required to read textbooks in
English.
