It is useless to worry about China? Ridiculous, as is the notion they could build something equal on their own. Nor could Cuba, Iran, North Korea, etc, all of which are standardizing on the free software you want to give them. You even allow them to rename and resell the products under a different name, as if there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and attack those of us who know there is.
So is writing OS code somehow mystically different than writing application code?
Where do you think all those Chinese programmers are being trained? The horse has left the barn. Linux is not a security threat. Deal with it.
No, but it is useless to worry about them getting an OS.

You seem to have this strange idea that all of China is a backwards country, when in fact they've been graduating CS majors and engineers by the hundreds of thousands and sending students out all over the world. Also remember that high-tech Hong Kong belongs to them now.

They could do the same with Solaris under Sun's CDDL, nothing in the license prevents it. In fact, the CDDL is even better for them since they could keep more of their code proprietary, just releasing the source for the CDDL portion of their product. Oh, nevermind, you like Solaris being open source so that's okay.
