Backing any large US company effectively means backing the US government and its worldwide oppression as well. I still can't get over the fact it was the land of the free who was the first to ban strong LLM models. If backing China helps undermine that nonsense then I'm afraid I'll take them up on their offer.
AI services are regulated by default in China, operators have to be pre-license their models to release them to the public. The Anthropic case wouldn't happen in China because China regulates the model and requires the company to register users with their phone number/national id number.
And yet they're the ones releasing weights for all to use.
