You've got to be kidding right? Are you really surprised that an English language site that is sometimes blocked in China and lacks a Chinese language interface doesn't have obviously Chinese contributors? Do you expect a conical hat on the profile pics of all the Chinese contributors? How exactly do you expect to see who's Chinese and who's not on a site like Github?

You can easily check out Chinese language code hosting sites, like

https://code.csdn.net/explore/projects?tag_name=python

Of course, I'm pretty sure that's not going to convince you of anything.

Unlike Pudn, csdn.net seems pretty legit. However it looks like there are only about 8000 projects give or take. Compare this with github which has a few million projects and that's just one repo service I'm not even counting stuff like bitbucket and google code. Again I'm not pointing out a deficiency in skill or talent, this is just about culture.
