10.8 has localizations for many languages. Any specific reason you want to remove china ?
This is under the assumption localizations are what you are referring to.

Well my sense is that Apple has greatly expanded the support of Chinese
features. They are of no use t me so I'd like to delete them and recover the SSD space.
Do I need to go hunting or is there a specific China group of files?
It may be possible, using an application like Monolingual, but it certainly isn't necessary.
Good suggestion.
Removed many unnecessary language related files.
Is is possible I recovered almost a GB of SSD space?
Yes. XSlimmer is a similar application that removes PowerPC code. It claims to remove about 1GB of space (out of about 8GB of applications) on my Mac. I haven't run it yet since I have 60GB free.
Xslimmer is indeed a good application for this.
Better than monolingual if you ask me.
Xslimmer actually shows what gets removed, where with monolingual it's sometimes just guessing.
