Asian countries are very lax about IP in general. It would not suprise me that as China and other Asian countries grow in importance, free and open source software also grows with them.
Free and Open Source Software depends on copyright. Looking at how lax many Chinese ARM development board vendors deal with the Linux Kernel GPL requirements and how many of these boards become early electronic waste just because the vendor can't be bothered to share the source-code like legally required does not make me very optimistic about this at all :(
