While forks are unfortunate, it would seem wise for the CCP to throw money at the chinese maintainers to maintain a trusted-by-CCP linux regardless of whether they are official "Linux" maintainers.

How would this be wise? Employees of Chinese enterprises are contributing to the kernel such that their employers can sell their hardware to people and institutions using Linux. This will not work with a trusted by-CCP Linux unless they are able to convince the world to use this fork, which seems rather unlikely.

Perhaps this is what Red Flag Linux was intended to do.
