My guess would be that if they "help" western labs becoming better, then any break-throughs they (western labs) make after that, is also a benefit to the Chinese labs - if they can distill the models.
Basically, western labs are in it for the money / commercial monopoly. Chinese labs are in it for the tech? As long as they can keep distilling models, and get access to research other ways, they benefit. And if they can push western labs forward, they'll benefit from that themselves.
