Seems to me that Vue is avoiding influence from Chinese corporations by being supported via his Patron[0].
I don't see any source backing up your claim that Vue would be influenced in any way by China.

Even if Vue was influenced by China, does it matter? It's an open source front-end library. It's there for everyone.
And React being supported by Facebook isn't a bad thing either. Means more development time is able to go into it from professional developers.

It matters if devs who depend on donations for a living get their donations cut because someone they know or even themselves do something China doesn't like.
With React it's different of course, objectively you're right, but subjectively, using React doesn't feel right if you dislike FB, and using FB technology can scare of customers if they get aware of it. If you want to trash a competitor in a space that's somehow privacy focused, just mention that your competitors tech stack is from FB!
Vue is backed and influenced by Chinese corporations, and React is FB, if you dislike both and can somehow afford to avoid depending on them you might become a happier dev.
