USG "Hey China, can you submit your open models for testing before release?" China "Oh, go right ahead. It's available online for anyone to test" USG "...No I mean like submit it to us before releasing it online" China "Like I said, it's available online. Do you not know how to download open models? USG "Of course we do, but before publicly making it available for everyone we want you to submit it to us exclusively for safety testing" China "Oh, oh I see. No." USG "...If you don't cooperate we may have to restrict access to your models" China "How?" USG "By forbidding our enterprises from using them" China "OK, force them to pay for expensive tokens. I don't care. Nice talking to you" --- Staff "Sir China won't cooperate" President "Xi is a tough cookie" Staff "Sir, if we don't safety test Chinese open models, but safety test the domestic open source, we will be giving China an unfair advantage" President "Fine, just safety test the closed ones. They're the ones begging for it"
