It also plays into the hands of the Chinese government to flatten the concept of ethnicity, culture, nationality and border into one.

That way, the mainland government, as the main party justify and legitimise themselves as the inheritors of Qin Shi Huang's 'unified China' legacy [1]. This shows up constantly and throughout the mainland domestic media, education system and narrative of the CCP bringing development, celebrating (a one-sided Confucian centric) culture and protecting borders from the century and millenia old concept of 'harmful external forces'.

A 'Chinese AI' model or ecosystem isolationist narrative promotes the Party domestically as the maternal incubator force of such: of development the domestic population is constantly reminded would not have been possible after the ashes of WWII without the Party. While externally gives fodder for protecting Chinese (its self declared protectorate) against such subducation it itself fosters. In doing so closes the circle of the increasingly isolationist policy of the past decade+.
