So are the boxes and instructions, etc printed in Chinese?

It looks like the set names on the boxes are in English.  Except for the warnings (which already printed in several languages), the instruction does not really need any translation.

I think that English is a lot more common in China. It may not be spoken to an enormous extent, but I think the written form is fairly prevalent on products that are international.
