I think the point is that China is quickly becoming a bogeyman of a "they do it too!" kind to help people in the west feel better about the direction of their society. Ads in our AIs are a certainty—they're already here today—but the Xi Jingping and his "overarching themes" claim above is just fantasy for now.

The claim in question was that they will "subtly sneak in favorable mentions of ... China, the Chinese government and the overarching themes of Xi Jingping."
Differs when I ran a local DeepSeek model.
You also get to see the <thinking /> tokens.
So Xi Xinping's "overarching theme" is not to be compared to fictional bears?
Great, now try asking this:
