Are there any efforts being made towards promoting SDC within the Chinese market? China is one of the largest cryptocurrency markets and this project has little to no representation there. Any ideas or suggestions as to how this community can make efforts to expanding awareness into the region?

Private communication and commerce in China might be an even bigger deal than in western countries due to the draconian censorship established by the ChiComs. Commerce between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (Mainland) could benefit from a private secure communication line (ShadowChat) for business-to-business and peer-to-peer item sales given the unfriendly relations between the two countries (similar to East and West Germany during the Cold War). The amount of vendors peddling high-end fashion and electronics at a discount would be huge asset to the marketplace. I've heard stories of people flying to China to buy suitcases full of Gucci and similar products for deep discounts to resell in their native lands. Giving these vendors an option to sell privately could help boost commerce for the marketplace.

If anyone knows any Mandarin speakers who can contribute to the project's international expansion please refer them to the team or speak up if you have expertise in this area. Maybe we can get a bounty going for the PR team as I think it is prime time for expansion into the market. The traction gained by this would, IMO, outweigh any progress made in western countries.

Chinese friendly wallet and mobile applications could be a starting bounty along with a Chinese mirror website.

I've heard that BTC38.com stopped adding coins that were under a year old, maybe it is time for the team/community to reach out to them again for a SDC pairing? If enough people here e-mail them I'm sure they will add SDC to their portfolio.
