Workarounds aside, it says Claude Code not Claude.
i.e. they are using the CLI running any model. You can for instance run GLM with it.

when i was in hongkong, chatgpt and gemini were disabled. Maybe this has changed though. When I was in China, the corporate vpn (zscaler) routed traffic through hk

Can't say they are wrong, after the latest backdoor, or let's say, undocumented functionality that leaks some data that was pushed in Claude Code few days ago
When a company can remotely push code without explicit user approval, and code that was hostile / almost malicious, it is a backdoor

What Claude Code did is absolutely mindboggling tho, if Chinese harness did that probably POTUS would lose sleep.

Exaggerate much? If you think POTUS would lose sleep about a date format timezone marker, I don't know what to tell you.

Another reason to use open source coding agents and local language models.
Claude Code is neither and it is literally info stealing malware.

Considering their massive distillation, if US companies stop publishing new models to the public, would China still be able to develop new open weight models?

Regardless of whether this specific claim is true, enterprises are becoming much more cautious about developer tools that can read large portions of proprietary codebases.
