There is now a Chinese blog devoted to open access. Launched in October 2004 and maintained by Lowie (LiWu), the English translation of its title is Open Access: Returning to Rationality in Academic Publishing. Lowie is writing a dissertation on OA journals at the Peking University Department of Information Management. (PS: Lowie's blog is a very welcome OA beachhead in China, which could rapidly become major source of OA science and scholarship.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
