Do the Chinese EVs meet US safety standards? Those requirements add a non trivial amount of weight to the vehicle.

There are a few Chinese EVs available widely in Australia (BYD, MG, and recently Zeekr) that all conform to Australian Design Rules (ADR), which have been "harmonised" with the European ones for a while. So, most likely this would get the vehicles pretty close to passing the US safety rules, though they'd still have to go through testing and certification.

Pretty sure EU safety standards are higher and many Chinese EVs meet those.

Considering a Cyberbeast out of all vehicles meets "US safety standards", I have to admit I don't have a lot of faith in those.

Btw it doesn't meet European Union standards and hence isn't sold there.
