One problem is that China's official state philosophy is dialectical materialism (mandatory to learn it in college). Which is part of the continental philosophy tradition, whereas LW/EA/AI safety are basically branches of analytical philosophy.
Not sure how hard it would be to overcome this, but it's probably one reason why they don't have their own LW-like scene.
