OpenClaw upstream is built for global conditions. CN networks are not global. openclaw-cn ships pre-configured for China.
Upstream mirror config requiring manual CN setup. QQ/WeChat adapters not bundled by default. English docs slowing CN developer onboarding.
Setup time: 20–30 minutes
Install the package:
git clone https://github.com/jiulingyun/openclaw-cn cd openclaw-cn npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com npm install npm start
It's kept close to upstream with regular rebases, but there may be a lag of days to weeks behind the latest release.
Yes. The fork is API-compatible with the main OpenClaw plugin ecosystem.
Primary docs are in Chinese, but the codebase has English inline comments.
CN developers using upstream OpenClaw spend the first hour on configuration that openclaw-cn ships pre-solved.
Every Mandarin-speaking developer hitting English docs first is an unnecessary friction point.
