A lot of vlang-related statistics are very suspicious, probably some of the metrics are boosted by a click farm or something similar. For example, 99% of the global google searches about "vlang" are from Beijing.

This makes very little sense to me. Keep in mind that Google is blocked in China, and has been for a long time, except maybe specific special machines from the government that may have unlimited access. Even if there is a lot of search interest from people using VPNs, it shouldn't show up as China.
So I'm not sure if that's evidence of metric boosting by a click farm, or anything else. Clicking on the question mark, it looks like it's not really a ranking of "where do searches come from", but rather "how popular is it in this region":
> Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.
Was curious, so checked up. V has Chinese contributors[2] and who have also translated their documentation from English to Chinese[1]. As was mentioned, other languages have Chinese followings too.
