Is there reasoning posted anywhere?
It's a Chinese company. I don't know how explicit they're being about that reasoning, though.
Other Chinese models aren’t on the list though, like Qwen or the ones from Xaiomi.
This isn't really surprising. It's the same as a company doing it, and frankly I'm surprised they didn't already. They don't need government people happily sending data up to Chinese dataminers.
