I work for a multinational tech firm, at their Beijing office. There is no equivalent of massive Chinese Github. Github is used heavily by Chinese developers. There are projects incubated in Chinese tech startups and eventually open sourced, for example the Beego Go web framework.
Due to the Great Firewall of China, there is almost a Chinese-only tech ecosystem of Android apps, and other "mini-apps" built on top of Wechat. For example, Jinri Toutiao is a popular app that is almost unheard of outside of China.
Quit my job as a system architect / software engineer and pursuing martial arts and spiritual cultivation full time in China.

Ah, do we so quickly forget the predatory tactics that Microsoft used to kill many startups in the '90s? Viable and game changing startups like RealNetworks, Netscape, etc
