The reason the Chinese like them is because most don't speak English and they had trouble remembering English urls...so they have been using numbers for a lot of their websites.
With the upcoming release of Chinese language idn.idn in late 2008 or 2009, combined with idn.com, idn.cn etc. they may fade in popularity with the Chinese as they start to move more towards the use of native script international domain names. Just worth watching the trend and traffic IMO.
