I think there are two things happening here.
1. There is a “space race” mentality happening at the national level with respect to AI. So, China is committing to the race.
2. Even if the race turns out to be a dud, China is hoovering up massive amounts of data as customers throw everything into their prompts. This is useful for all sorts of national objectives. Why hack when you can just put up a shingle that says “Artificial Intelligence” and customers hand over their data willingly?

Either way, China wins.
