Wyze Cam V2 attempting UDP 10001 connections to Chinese IP

I ran my camera on a separate wireless network which is connected through a PC with two NICs and logged the connections from the camera for a short period of time. The following are all the servers that it connected to.

I’m running the latest firmware which is 4.9.4.37. The camera is a WYZE Cam v2.

Someone from WYZE, please explain what these servers are. In particular, I would like to know what the Chinese server is being used for, but, also the other non-Amazon servers. What are ports 10001 and 10240 used for?

Note, the Android app connects to the same Chinese server that the camera does.
