I live in China, I think Go is becoming popular in China. Many Coders are talking about it and compare Go with Erlang or C++. In fact there are lots of debates in Chinese community about Go and Erlang such as this link http://www.zhihu.com/question/27465406. Also many programmers are talking about Go and Erlang in weibo -- a chinese website that is similar to twitter. Finally, because of the Great Fire Wall has blocked Google in China, we can't direct visit websites related to Google include http://golang.org. So many programmers are tend to visit the chinese version Go communities.
