It might be China trying to force their own companies to use Chinese hardware. I heavily doubt that it would include a GPS chip. At most some way to guess the location by combining many different types of information such as nearby routers /WiFi networks etc.
There are crafty ways to guess a location without GPS. Though I have no idea what this one would entail if at all true.
