good luck with that! not only is a company doing it, which means no individual person will go to prison, but it's from a chinese company with no regard for any laws that might get passed
The people determining US legislation have said, "how can we achieve skynet if our tech trillionaire company sponsors can't evade copyright or content licensing?" But they also say if "we don't spend every penny you have on achieving US controlled Skynet, then China wins."
Speculating on "Huawei network can solve this", doesn't mean that all the bots are Chinese, but does confirm that China has a lot of AI research, and Huawei GPUs/NPUs are getting used, and successfully solving this particular "I am not a robot challenge".
It's really hard to call "amateur coding challenge" competition web site a national security threat, but if you hype Huawei enough, then surely the US will give up on AI like it gave up on solar, and maybe EVs. "If we don't adopt Luddite politics and all become Amish, then China wins" is a "promising" new loser perspective on media manipulation.
