I expect the Chinese government can get any data it wants from Chinese businesses. Add that to surveillance data and other government data, the world's public data, and any data they can steal. China seems well placed to get data from Russia. If data is the bottleneck for Chinese AI, it seems like it could be a wider bottleneck than anywhere else. Just my inexpert musings, and I'll let others describe the likely result if I'm right.
