> Chinese models train on US models.

All companies are doing all kinds of desperate things to build up their massive training corpus. Perhaps everyone already forgot all the news on the massive copyright violation campaign that US companies have been continuously committing in the name of training models?

> US models are more advanced than Chinese models and don't.

That's only your wishful thinking. As Kimi K3.1 Pro shows, even their open weights models are beating frontier models from US companies. Even if you want to dismiss them for allegedly distilling other models,you would need to explain why they are still beating the distilled model?
