Amongst Chinese labs and netizens, there's MUCH less belief/mindshare on "AGI = existential risk to humanity", "paperclip maximiser", and similar lines of thinking. AI is seen more as just a technology, and less like a scary boogyman.

Whether that's right or wrong, I'll leave to you, but there's huge differences in perspectives, and if you only get your news from Western sources and communities (and companies), you're in a bubble too. A different bubble, and arguably a more porous one, but still a bubble.
