You may also read this thread in the mailing list [0]. I may need to look up some more resources, but it seems to me that there wasn't a rigorous peer review for it. For example, compare it to merging SM4 into OpenSSL [1]. I would've thought that you'd need a few rounds of back and forth reviews mostly focused on cryptography and implementation such as possibilities of side channel attacks etc., not just some comments on style once.

Does this imply Chinese can break into all these encryptions ?
