For the Chinese government, it's not as much about where the files are hosted. It's about whether they can control the code in the name of 'national security'. And third party code is outside of Chinese governmental oversight and control. Remember the "Great Wall of China" and the internet? That's the control they seek.
And the Chinese government will punish Bambu if they do not stop it. Which why they will have Bambu's back in a Chinese court. And why Bambu has screwed themselves and are between a rock and a hard place.
