The main difference between binary and text in Chinese what book's main
purpose is to be read by human beings; so anybody knowing Chinese can
read it.  Binary is supposed to be executed by computer, not read by
human beings; some information necessary to understand it, such as
comments or meaningful variable names, will not be present in binaries,
either for optimisation purposes or to prevent effective decompilation.
