I think most people are looking at his situation the wrong way. He was a programmer for the company while he made that code, so some say that the code belongs to the company. In the US and in most countries, that is absolutely true. You cant just walk away with the company's code. BUT in the US and in most other countries, a company can't just not pay you either. All those who said that he should give back the code are probably in the US or some other free country. So i ask them: would a company not get there pants (and finances) sued off them for not paying an employee? China isnt like that. Like he said, it would take the courts years to process the case. So i beleive what he is doing is his only option.

More power to you Wengang!! Show them all...
