I don't know about work about that but I think supporting
wubi in Emacs is very important. When I visited Beijing
this March, I found that most of books about Chinese input
method were about wubi.

As I can't read Chinese, I can't tell anything about that.
If you translate it (the part mentioning copyright) in
English and send to RMS <rms@gnu.org>, he'll decide whether
we can use there data or not.
If you find a clearly free Wubi table, please let me know.
I'll implement Wubi input method based on it (provided that
we need only table lookup).
