alt Hacker NewsI wanted to better understand the internal discussions that took place within China regarding joining the WTO and accepting—at least in the medium term—the inherent steps away from a traditional socialist economy that would entail.
DeepSeek refused. Funny enough American models gave me very sympathetic takes on the Chinese government in this case.
Chinese regulations ban models that would criticize their government on any sensitive political question. The easiest way to comply with it is refuse to speak on the covered topics at all, so they don't get tricked into approving a user's anti CPC opinion.
DeepSeek definitely gets pressure from state officials to answer in more China aligned ways on foreign issues like Palestine, but that just means moving closer to broadly left wing/liberal American models.
