This is GREAT!
edit: Would be even better if we get BitUSD and BitCNY denominated pairs (like they have for USDT). Anyone working on *that*?
Yes, I am in contact with Poloniex. I don't expect that they will make BitUSD or BitCNY a base asset if there is no demonstrated volume. I will however encourage them to make BitCNY a base asset for ETH since a lot of the demand for ETH is coming from China but there are no ETH/CNY market. Bitcrab has already stated that he would help provide liquidity for such a market.
Also BitCNY coming soon to Bittrex if there are any people interested in trading there.
