There is no reason why they couldn't license the model to Friendli/Fireworks/etc and have it hosted in the US to alleviate this concern.

The reason is to create domestic demand for Chinese AI chips so they can eventually be free of NVIDIA.
Replacing NVIDIA is not a problem, replacing ASML is.
China can't do EUV lithography, but they have done a great job of pushing DUV to its limits. If they have the chip design talent they can still produce useful chips for their domestic markets.
I don't know about this model specifically, but other china models did not have the limitation. It was purely on the hosted end, tacked on as a self check while the text was generating. Did that change?
