    > So the Chinese labs have thrown a lifeline to the Western loss-making labs, and I just have no clue as to why.

    Any ideas?

      The chinese don't view AI as metaphysical, they view it as an engineering challenge they consider good for their state and want to dominate the global market like they do with batteries/EVs/photovoltaics. They want to proliferate them as much as possible and traditionally they don't care much for IP. They also want hardware makers to make optimized chips specifically for these models.
