Chinese Big Tech aim to do that and worse, also in bed with their political class. They only do open source because their hand was forced.
Today big pockets and big datacenters are the differentiatior and it looks like even DeepSeek can't keep up.
The only chance if enough people and small companies join forces into a Rebellion of sorts. But I don't see this happening... yet.

At least they're honest about it. No preaching about freedom or safety like the USA.

Optimal outcome considering the status quo. I hope the USA and China keep forcing each other's hands until the end of time so that we can keep reaping the benefits of their competition. If China develops their own DRAM and GPU industries, it would significantly weaken the threat of US export bans on inference capable hardware.
