Apparently open source models is an officially stated national strategy now, which is somewhat reassuring that we'll probably keep getting these for a while.

The aspect that you can count on is that China sees AI as a long term strategic necessity, so they will support domestic players for an extremely long time. But unless you're a Chinese lab that shouldn't necessarily be a comfort to anyone else.
I expect the Chinese will do something wildly stupid at some point, but they've been behaving quite responsibly so far.
Another buzzword mentioned by Xi is "safety and controllability" (安全可控), which is generally in tension with open source, since that involves giving up control. Historically, when there's a conflict between openness and controllability, the Chinese government tends to choose control, see the Great Firewall.
