They treat "China" as a monolith here so I am wondering to what extent the LLM advancements are a product of state policy. The US government for example is shedding sweat and tears to make sure that the AI bubble doesn't implode by freely allowing LLM hucksters to falsely advertise their product to rake in investment, awarding government contracts to abominations like Grok and promising subsidies for erecting datacentres. Chinese LLM shops seem to be less heavily invested in when they are not offshoots of megacorps like Alibaba. I haven't heard a peep about what the government policy is around them.
