       While I was on oversea assignment in PRC I noticed students were using
  Chinese WordStar over there.  There is a Vancouver based company selling
  a Chinese word processor called "Tin Ma".  I have seen a Xerox workstation
  bundled with multi-lingual fonts and dictionaries for Chinese, Japanese etc.
  and the Xerox laser printer prints out letter quality Chinese characters.

  Also, the Chinese had developed a Chinese character DOS and you can use
  the good old pc's edlin to do Chinese line editing.  I had used it myself
  on both CGA and MDA over in China.
