It wouldn't surprise me the US government is behind it. As it wouldn't surprise me the government of China is subsidizing those OS models. A lot of things at play, and all over a huge bubble.

Yep.

Eventually, access to Chinese models may be illegal in the US. I tell every developer I work with, download them as fast as possible. You never know when this administration could cut off access.
