@johkra@mastodon.social Any other explanation than the governement’s promotion of Gitee? It is backed by the Chinese government and offers faster access within China.

@fj@mastodon.social @johkra@mastodon.social Is this for public or private repos? Perhaps they prefer closed source.

@fj@mastodon.social @johkra@mastodon.social also VPNs. See https://jeffgortmaker.com/files/Open_Source_Software_Policy_in_Industry_Equilibrium.pdf for AFIAK the best study so far. On counting other forges, I suspect some back of the napkin guesstimates could be derived from https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ (make assumptions of pushes and geo distribution for others listed on that page) and better than napkin estimates by looking at the actual commit data in @swheritage@mstdn.social (I'd love to see it).
