I am sure that some other country (Mistral from France, India, Canada etc.) would have even more chances to innovate perhaps.

and because Chinese models are open-weights, the distillations effects of them could be easier done as well ;)

In my opinion, its a win-win plus even within worst case scenario*, I already believe that the current open weights models are in general speaking good enough perhaps for my and other use cases as well and I feel like we will probably most likely get more open-weights model for a long time in general as well perhaps.
