It’s not a reasonable question because the premise of the OP is that there currently isn’t any cooperation no matter the nationality.
It also does ignore that the Chinese Communist Party does take actions in regard to AI safety and that practically matters more than any cooperation with North Korean AI labs.
There’s an odd background framing that implies that somehow the Chinese don’t care about the public good while Westerners do care. The CCP is perfectly willing to engage in heavy regulations of their tech industry provided they believe that the regulation will protect the public good. There’s much more potential for Chinese actors to not follow economic imperatives because their government believes that this is a bad idea.
