I heard something that Termux has a lot of Chinese influence, anybody aware of this? I love Termux but that kinda added a bad taste. But I don't have anything to back it up but quotes from trusted people

The commit history doesn't seem to reflect this [1], and the contributors seems to have just a handful of commits outside of two main committers [2]. Seems to be a tonne of trivial commits merged from some code hackathon [3] [4].

Termux' package manager wrapper pkg can randomly select Chinese mirrors, but you can remove them from the selection list.
