That's because they pick only western distros. In China, there are a lot of distros that are specifically tuned to the chinese language, like red flag linux. Linux is more than Mandriva, red hat, suse and debian. In Japan, they must use Turbo linux or something like that. There are many localized distros everywhere. Anyway, those kind of statistics are always inherently flawed and I never take them seriously. It's just for fun.

China LOVES Microsoft and Bill Gates. Even if most of them use 1$ pirated copies, they'd use Windows way before Linux. I know, I live there.
Sad isn't it. The government has even tried to push it onto the public by selling computers in big chains with Red Flag Linux, but nobody wanted it.
