I am glad to see the Chinese folks - the common folks - being able to start a Hackerspace and keep it going. I am a member of the one in Albuquerque (quelab.net) and visit Noisebridge in San Francisco. There are many creative folks out there. In the USA, we have a problem getting kids interested in STEM education, and Hackerspaces are a good way to do this.
Look at hackerspaces.org for one near you or good information on what it takes to start one (basically, a few dedicated individuals).

Sounds like the place showcased is great, and an indicator of what is bubbling up from the proletariat. A little more work, though, on the research. About how many other spaces like this are there, are they located mostly in the biggest cities, what other flavors of these are there, how many in other countries, what's the rate of expansion, etc?
