I have to ask what's everyone's issue with the requests to China. We've had 25 years of American big tech basically capture all our data, and use that to make insane profits.
Valid question. I have no 100% factual answers and neither does anyone else here.
So I go with feeling, and that feeling says that China is worse. The feeling is partially supported by the fact that China is softly backing Russia in its attack against the west.
Trump's USA is obviously completely horrible, but he is also in large part a product of Russian influence, which again is part of the larger block in which China resides.
Opencode also has a setting to not route to China, though this would probably just disable the models that do not have providiers in alternative locations.
Note that opencode routes deepseek requests to China.

This is a false equivalency. American providers don't answer to their government.

Sure. Can you tell me why that means that it's ok for Chinese big tech to capture all our data?

My code is opensource, china already has it. For my professional work we have entreprise plans with OpenAI / Anthropic
For an average European, why is it better than routing requests to the USA?
Chime-in for an average non us citizen why is it better ?

If you pay for a business plan on openrouter (I know, it’s not opencode, just another option), you can geo lock providers if China is a concern.
Doesn’t that depend on the router service provider?
