Why hasn't anyone at a Chinese AI lab resigned over AI safety or alignment concerns?

A Reddit discussion asks a pointed question: while US AI labs have seen multiple safety-motivated resignations and public warnings, no comparable resignation from a Chinese AI lab over alignment concerns has ever been reported. Commenters debate explanations, including differences in safety culture, public postures of Chinese labs, speech environment and whistleblower channels. The thread is a question rather than a report, but it highlights the striking asymmetry in public AI-safety dissent between the two ecosystems.
