In China GB18030 is required to be used by law, any most sites just assume the browser uses that as the default, so they don't even specify a character encoding.
Your likely setup for international web sites is to have Unicode in the database (since databases have special support for it and it is a good base encoding), but to serve up different encodings wherever UTF-8 proves problematic (for technical or legal reasons). Hopefully, over time, there'll be less and less resistance to using UTF-8.
