I have no idea where you got that impression, but based on my personal experience as an International student from China, most of the Chinese undergrad students get financial aids from relatives and post-graduate degree students live on university funding. It is extremely rare to have students who are "sent" by the Chinese government and few people actually have strong preference of returning to China after they complete their study over getting a job abroad.

No support for foreign characters in Tags.

Created the tag, clicked on the tag, Internal server error and Asian Characters in the URL.

Also a bug report form would be great.

hi. i have now fixed all unicode issues, except for users that have unicode chars in their username. they are not able to vote due to me storing their username in hstore, which only accepts strings for keys.

because of this, i have cut down on the list of chars available to use in usernames.

see this post for bug reporting: http://www.tagxt.com/post/11

thanks!
