Why use China model API from China if there are many independent providers available via Openrouter?

  to support the companies that open source their models

  Openrouter will route to china hosted models when there are US hosted providers of the same model. Is there a setting to set your preference or to blacklist providers like alibaba cloud for example? I use OpenCode and the openrouter provider. From opencode I only select the model like kimi-2.6 and have no way of selecting which cloud hosting will receive my request.
