 No they use Chinese numbers,  一 二 三 四 五etc, or they use Arabic
numerals, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... but they don't use Latin numbers (I II III
IV V), as far as I know...  :-P

I don't think anyone uses Latin numerals anymore, with the exception of dating (as in movies.) Arabic's base-10 system is so much better. :D
