I'm skeptical too.
Unfortunately for folks who are good actors in other non free countries countries... I find any sort of development or real world controls that are in a seriously non free country... automatically suspicious.
Even good individual developers who have the best of intentions in those places could be subject to pressure and the likelihood we'd ever hear about it is near zero in many of those places.
Granted that 'could' happen in more free countries, but I'll hedge my bets there as there's a great deal more likelihood I would hear about it.
