Yeah, though the Chinese government isn't doing this out of the goodness of their heart, this is what open source is about.
Shame they don't have anything themselves that's worth the trouble to copy back.

If it’s a public repo do they need permission?
Not saying this is good, but you can’t really argue that it’s not a natural consequence of open source.

Yeah... The main thing I see here is that China (read; government , not the people, not being racist here) will take this code, they will make improvements on it, they will NOT give back. Basically like Microsoft, but now an entire country.
Chinese government hasn't exact had a good reputation when it comes to taking technology and not giving anything back

I'm surprised this wasnt done already
When they mirror it, does they uses a different username? If so I'm totally fine as that's just a fork, otherwise it should count as stolen. Not the project but the name and reputation of the owner.
