Will a ChatGPT-comparable chatbot be available within China at the end of this year?

Question

ChatYuan was briefly online and shut down for being, shall we say, "poorly aligned". See here, for instance: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4807319

This market resolves YES if, at the end of this year, a Chinese-speaking chatbot comparable to ChatGPT in performance is broadly available (without needing VPNs or other workarounds) in China.

ETA April 13: "ChatGPT comparable" refers to what is being called "GPT 3.5". Improvement like GPT 4, and whatever comes out later this year, don't need to be matched.
