This website was indeed created with sorta [marketing](https://www.c114.com.cn/news/16/a1243786.html). It is an attempt by CSDN and Huawei to build an open-source platform in China, promoting their compliance of regulations.

My view is that Huawei's involvement is likely primarily aimed at helping to establish package repositories for its Harmony OS and OpenEuler (such as [ohpm](https://ohpm.openharmony.cn/#/cn/home)), which require (real-name) identity verification via mobile phone numbers for package publishing.
