ChrisOei Posted July 20, 2015 at 08:35 PM Report Posted July 20, 2015 at 08:35 PM Anyone know if there are Chinese-language forums for tech entrepreneurs in China? Or maybe just forums where programmers in China exchange ideas and questions? Thanks for any help! -Chris Quote
zhouhaochen Posted July 21, 2015 at 12:17 AM Report Posted July 21, 2015 at 12:17 AM You are studying for HSK one and are looking for a Chinese language forum to talk about IT? Quote

ChrisOei Posted July 21, 2015 at 04:13 AM Author Report Posted July 21, 2015 at 04:13 AM I'm looking for a Chinese language forum to read and write about tech and entrepreneurship stuff. I have the usual assortment of browser plug-ins and apps for looking up words and translating phrases I don't know, and at worst I'll learn some vocabulary words that I'll actually need for work. At best, I'll make acquaintances with tech people there that I can visit when I go there, which will probably be sometime later this year. If I get desperate, I'll find a translator to help. But I did hear that programmers there write code the same way programmers here do, so with enough time and patience I ought to be able to understand their coding questions, if not the business discussions. Even with articles in http://caijing.chinadaily.com.cn/ I can use Google translate to get a rough idea of what people are talking about. Random ideas, anyone? Quote
zhouhaochen Posted July 21, 2015 at 06:12 AM Report Posted July 21, 2015 at 06:12 AM Unfortunately I have no practical advice to offer there, but I like the attitude towards learning Chinese. Great way to practice. Quote
ChrisOei Posted July 21, 2015 at 08:10 AM Author Report Posted July 21, 2015 at 08:10 AM Thanks ouyangnufang and zhouhaochen. To anyone else looking for something similar, I also came across: http://bbs.csdn.net/home Quote
roddy Posted July 21, 2015 at 08:12 AM Report Posted July 21, 2015 at 08:12 AM I'd wager it's a matter of searching 'bbs' and the name of the language or technology you're interested in. Has to be a ton of stuff out there. Eg http://bbs.chinaunix.net/linux.php if you search linux 论坛 If you find any useful sites, come back and let us know. 1 Quote
James3 Posted July 22, 2015 at 04:58 PM Report Posted July 22, 2015 at 04:58 PM Might be a roundabout way to get your answer, but yet another approach might be to use one of the many language exchange partner sites to find a Chinese local who is into tech, and find out from them. 1 Quote
ChrisOei Posted July 23, 2015 at 11:46 PM Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 at 11:46 PM Thanks for the "论坛" tip, Roddy, and thanks James for the idea. Oh, and I ran into a Chinese-speaking acquaintance who works in tech, and he mentioned https://ruby-china.org/ for people doing Ruby on Rails. Quote
James3 Posted July 24, 2015 at 01:26 AM Report Posted July 24, 2015 at 01:26 AM You're welcome ChrisOei. Good luck! Quote
