The reasoning doesn't make any sense. China's Open source code vulnerable to what external factors? Not being censored? Github getting blocked in China?

The code is all open source... You can literally just copy and mirror everything. This is a blatant move to get China's open source community to move where they can be easy controlled

yes makes sense
