I don't think I ever see Wechat and Weibo in the "Follow Us" box. Was this donated to Apache by a Chinese company? I feel like we will see a lot more of this in the coming years.

Agreed - geopolitics aside, it's been awesome to see how much Chinese companies have embraced open source in a number of different domains. I think the whole ecosystem is going to greatly benefit from the contributions of Chinese open source projects.

It is a country with public adverts explicitly saying "America/west is the enemy". Supply chain attacks via open source are already happening.

The library originates from a team of developer from a chinese Company (Baidu I think).

I saw that the rendering library for echarts, zrender, is managed by a GitHub org associated with Baidu

It's made by Baidu and Apache is sponsoring them (why I don't know, Baidu must have enough money right?)
