The Chinese have been there for quite a while and have a strong domestic market presence

All the big players like Baidu and tencent and even much smaller ones have antivirus solutions

AVs are basically rootkits anyway, I don't see what makes this more untrustworthy than what's already available.

In 2010, 360 Safeguard analyzed the QQ protocol and accused QQ of automatically scanning users' computers and of uploading their personal information to QQ's servers without users' consent. In response, Tencent called 360 itself malware and denied users with 360 installed access to some QQ services. The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information reprimanded both companies for "improper competition" and ordered them to come to an accord.[2]
