Its backwards in so many ways.

You fall back on having to use Chinese models. In theory the Chinese models could also be trained to sneak in new security flaws while Claude and Codex would avoid looking for them.

Claude and codex could also be trained to sneak security flaws. They could even target specific people. Not to mention that all their data goes through NSA headquarters so you don’t even have the option to run it locally in any shape or form.

The US companies are doing this to not get export restricted by the US government which in turn can end up with companies using Chinese models to get around those restrictions.

Its not really a matter of who's good and bad (neither the US or China has the best track record), but creating a scenario where the other party can use your own policies against you.
