This is the only thing I found with some limited googling:
> Our team is very experienced in making gadgets. They are experts from Xiaomi/OPPO/Google/Ubuntu and other Consumer Electronic Companies. So what we are talking about here is not a low-end tablet for geeks and Linux users. It will be designed just like a tablet for consumers with the best quality we can achieve.

Interestingly, JingOS's About page [1] uses similar words but different companies:
> Our team is very experienced. They are experts from Lenovo, Alibaba, Sumsung, Canonical/Ubuntu, Trolltech and other famous IT Companies.
Any competitions to existing duopoly are good.
Trolltech, the creator of the Qt framework, became part of Nokia in 2008 and doesn't exist any more as a company since. So it's a rather strange reference.

Encouraging competition and using software from smaller companies, Chinese or not, is our only chance to level this.
Unfortunately most Chinese suppliers don't take their GPLv2 obligations very serious when it comes to Linux kernel drivers for example. If these new(?) players do, I can only applaud it.
