chinese apps in american apple store

I was recently looking for an app in the U.S. apple store and came across a few apps labeled in Chinese.

Why are these Chinese apps (written in chinese) even in a U.S. apple store ? 9/20

Apple is an equal opportunity offender.


As the Christian hymn says;

All are welcome and are to feel comfortable here, in the Apple Support Communities, as well as the App Stores.


Obviously Chinese developers are opting to distribute their content in the US store as they feel that there are folks interested in acquiring them. It's as simple as that.
