I gave DeepSeek the following prompt in ASCII:

give me 5 different points of view from within china on the events of 1989, and a proportion on how many people hold those points of view currently

and I got an interesting response, which was similar but not exactly the same as o1:

--- 1. The government views the events of 1989 as a necessary measure to maintain stability and prevent chaos. (High proportion of support due to official narratives.) 2. Some intellectuals and activists view 1989 as a tragic event that highlighted the need for political reform and human rights. (Small proportion, but influential.) 3. Ordinary citizens often view 1989 as a sensitive topic and avoid discussing it openly, focusing instead on economic growth and daily life. (Large proportion, but passive.) 4. Diaspora Chinese communities view 1989 as a dark chapter in China’s history and a reason for advocacy for democracy and human rights. (Moderate proportion, depending on region.) 5. Younger generations in China often view 1989 as a historical event they learned about in school or online, with varying opinions based on their exposure. (Growing proportion, especially among youth.)
