I vote for public votes. Your comments, history and activity is already public, what can you gain from "hidden" votes as much as privacy?
I can't read Chinese, so I'm not sure what good seeing their names would be. A downvote is a downvote.
Didn't kbin have a separate mechanism for supporting a post in a more public way? I can't remember how that worked now, but it was in addition to the regular voting I think?
