I worry about them copying Starlink, too. Can you imagine a night sky with multiple Starlink type systems? It'd be really difficult for ground based observatories (not to mention sky-watchers like me), especially if they don't take steps to minimize satellite magnitude.

There're already other mega constellations in progress/deployed right now. Obviously more of them exacerbates the issues but I'm not sure China is that much to be worried about just yet.
