One thing I always curious about: how can chinese do any meaningful science in their language when most of the science (as far as I'm aware) is in Latin alphabet? They don't even have an alphabet, do they? If so, how do they translate all that information, is that even possible?

Most scientists can read and write English just fine.

Have you considered whether Chinese academics might be able to read English?
