Yes and also, US and Chinese models are censored in different ways. US models are way too prudish for personal use in Europe because they're afraid to piss off religious investors. Chinese models are too censored on history and current affairs, eg the tiananmen massacre never happened stuff like that.

Chinese models aren't censored as much as you think, you can download the model and run it somewhere else and they will happily tell you about Tiananmen Square. Or heck, ask DeepSeek via Openrouter, it will do the same.

The censorship works kind of like with Fabel, it kicks in before the model responds.
