could be some guy in China

I don't see how that's a problem, it's not like it's by a Chinese run company or like the Chinese government is spying on you; in the case you described it'd just be a rando with a hobby/vision.

The fact that it keeps getting hosted in countries that have freedom problems, such as China and Russia, does concern me, though.

The problem is that China makes developing privacy and freedom friendly tech illegal. You won't find many Tor devs in China

How do they make that illegal?

I can't find much on tech impeding laws online, whatever search terms I enter related to China and privacy just leads me to articles about their data protection law.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
