It seems the Chinese policy is very smart by demanding inspection of software before it goes into deployment/production. It's common sense really. We should demand as much in the US.

Too bad we have laws and agencies that demand the exact opposite:

I wonder who in our government thinks deploying code without review or testing is a good idea? Does anyone know where one might find a full list of these people/agencies?

It is one thing to have the government get access to software, and quite another to have truly open source software. Does the entire Chinese population have access to the source? I seriously doubt it.
