Maybe irrelevant but it's worth noting.

Sued and jailed for submitting vulnerability. Open through google search. https://www.caixinglobal.com/2016-10-17/are-chinas-ethical-h...

From what I was told, around 2014 in China, there used to be a responsible-disclosure platform called WooYun that existed for a while (some of its articles has submitted to ~100 upvotes on HN). It was similar to HackerOne, and attracted a significant number of infosec researchers to hunt bugs and report it to the vendors.

Until 2016, when the government arrested its founders.
