Ask HN: Where is all the Chinese software?

[Forgive if this is culturally ignorant somehow] Apparently the USA has 1.6m programmers, while China has 7m. Yet I can't think of much Desktop software that is obviously Chinese i.e. the development house is chinese. Dyson Sphere Program and Black Myth: Wukong is the only thing that comes to mind - both games. Presumably they're producing lots so where is it all? Behind the GFW in some sort of parallel ecosystem that I just don't know about? Or am I using really well translated chinese software regularly & just not realising it? 7m people presumably many of them on 996 schedule must be producing a sizable LoC output...where is it going? Is all of it in the mobile space a la wechat miniapps?
