I wonder if anything will be said publicly.
That article references an explosion a couple of years ago... I guess I could go look and see if they admitted that one...
According to that article the explosion was at a test facility, not a launch facility. If correct, not a big deal.
Geely, Geespace & LEO
"Geespace’s satellite communication is now available in several of Geely group’s electric vehicles (EVs), including the Zeekr 001 FR and 007, and the Galaxy E8.
"The next race for the EV sector is self-driving and the Internet of Things service. Telecommunications infrastructure is also moving from 5G to 6G. One of its key features is the wide use of satellite communications and navigations network," Wang said. "We think the demand and the size for this market will reach an inflection point very soon."
The group's billionaire founder and Chairman — Li Shufu — owns almost 10% of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, and Geely owns stakes in other foreign automakers such as Volvo AB and Lotus Technology Inc Li also picked Geespace’s Chinese name, which means a path in time and space.

The latest NASASpaceFlight's This Week In Spaceflight has a chapter on China. It starts out with some progress on Space Progress's Tianlong-3, which is their Falcon 9 clone. Another company, LandSpace, has the Zhuque-3, which is that stainless steel rocket with grid fins and methalox engines. In fact, they were the first to reach orbit with a methalox engine (different vehicle). They've even completed hopper tests just like the Falcon 9 (but for their mini-Starship).
The Chinese don't seem to have Not Invented Here instincts anywhere in their DNA.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If they're repeating what works by examining it from the outside, that's one thing (you can't invent everything from scratch, anyway). If they're performing industrial espionage to steal the blueprints, formulas, processes, and software, that's another.
There is no doubt that is happening, in every field. And Musk companies work culture is generally not that keen on safeguarding IPs anyway unless forced by US military and govt.
Spacenews.com reports China on track for crewed moon landing by 2030, space official says
Unlike meaningless announcements from Roscosmos, I take what China is saying very seriously and expect them to reach their goals.
It won’t be long before key members of Congress wrap their heads around the idea that the US could “lose the race” to put humans on the Moon in the 21st century and demand that NASA move faster. I don’t think anyone takes the announced 2026 date seriously.
