While the government of China may be socialist, capitalists and the exploitative forces of capitalism are still highly prevalent within China. You can't just brush off concerns about a technology being developed by a Chinese company (which is not state owned) because it is in a "socialist country".
The whole point of having a dictatorship of the proletariat established, which is what it means to be a socialist country, is to ensure that final decision about the way technology is used isn't in the hands of capitalists. Yes, China has capitalists, and exploitative forces, but they're not in charge, and they are subordinate to the proletarian state.
