China was once an absolute failure when it came to open-source project. However, it’s a thing of the past now. China is constantly growing its influence in both open-source and proprietary development. There are various factors that China took into consideration that helped it achieve its open-source milestone. Two of major factors include:

Getting serious about software: Earlier, China didn’t invest much in software development and tended to ignore this industry. However, when China released its 10th five-year plan (2001- 2005), software development became a central pillar of its economic growth. The country realized that software development helped the country not just with economic development, but also strengthened its national security.

Open-sourcing China: Although the measures taken by them are not perfect, Chinese software developers together make the third largest block that contributes to cloud native computing foundation projects. They are also the second largest group contributing to the GitHub-hosted repositories.

Although Chinese policy is primarily defensive, it has also started to focus on ensuring that they can successfully connect with the rest of the global tech infrastructure.

Is your project on Github? If not, put it on Github.

Does your project have a website written in English, with English documentation? If not, that's something else to try.
