The main indemnity that providers like GitHub Copilot provide is against being sued by the copyright holders whoes works were "transformed" to make the models. They generally don't offer that for the Chinese models, at least in my region. I can't see any reason other than back-room deals making it so: they're all using stolen works, and all could spit out memorized fragments. But if you're talking specifically about the fitness or otherwise of the actual software these models produce, that is generally handled with the use of sacrificial employees.
