If I was Chinese, I'd probably trust Grok more than a local AI company. Americans would probably trust the Chinese companies more.

It's less about "who is more trustworthy", it's more about "who is more willing and able to affect me".

Nah. There are more established companies (e.g. Tencent, Alibaba, etc) and academia (e.g. Moonshot, Zai, etc) involved than in the US (comparatively). Also there are more Chinese AI researchers involved than non-Chinese (whether they physically sit in China or not).

I think that underestimates how little the Chinese care about what Americans are doing. They're moving so fast that watching what the U.S. is doing would slow them down.
