I stand corrected.

Good.

How should that mean anything?

I did educate myself a bit, but I'm not an expert in cryptography, so I
would like to be sure that these are not another Speck or DUAL-EC-DRBG.
 "SM2 is based on ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography), and uses a special
curve" is enough for me to see warning signs, at least without further
explanations, and so does the fact that the initial SM3 values were
changed from SHA-2 and AFAICT there is no public justification for that.
