Are you going to perform the work? If not, why do you expect someone else will?

Exactly. I don't have the power to replicate the testing but this is the type of thing that easily makes the news!

If you have the power to do so, why wouldn't you perform your own testing right now and release the results? It's a marketing/status gold mine.

If you find that western models don't have the described anti-china bias, then maybe you won't publish anything since it's not as interesting—that would be evidence there's no conspiracy.

Hence my conclusion that if we don't hear anything soon, the anti-china accusation is false.
