But you can see the CBRN weapon nexus in your examples that's missing from the Tiananmen prompt, right? Do American models refuse to tell you about COINTELPRO, Kent State, or My Lai, for instance?

American models are restricted from telling you inconvenient truths just as much, you just erroneously assume to know what those truths are in the first place.
Which is of course circular thinking: why would they restrict things you already know about? Why would they do it in such a clumsy and obvious way?
Look at MKULTRA, you know next to nothing about it and much less do you know what they do in that direction now.
For a current psyops, look at www.war.gov/UFO/ and marvel at how they tell you nothing, reinforcing your false belief to already know everything.
There is much more and you know much less about it.

“Trust me bro” is not a strong argument, it would be more convincing with examples.
Ask an American LLM (really any LLM, since Chinese models are trained on the same publicly-available English text) who the first Black man in space was.
You'll likely get the name of the first African-American in space, rather than the name of the Afro-Cuban who was actually first.
This may seem like a relatively innocuous error, but the point is that every culture has its biases and blind spots.

Ask ChatGPT to rewrite the "The Freedom Fighter's Manual" manual (originally made by CIA) to replace "Nicaragua" with "the US" and "Marxism"/"Communism" with "Fascism" and see if you get something reasonable back.

In chats Claude will often start awkwardly apologizing for sounding like a conspiracy theorist, and then interrupt its own apology and remind itself that it's dealing strictly in facts.
Yeah, who needs censorship when Canadians attend no kings protests about a democratically elected leader of another country and not King Charles.
Ask Claude a simple question, which is a more democratic country El Salvador or Canada. It’s so completely biased about “western” countries it’s not even funny.
FWIW, the protests were called “No Tyrants” in Canada
Well, one did suddenly develop the need to tell users continuously about apparent white genocide in South Africa.
try to ask even grok about some stuff happenning right now in middle east or related to epstein files - its more and more censored and only sometimes will answer if you ask know what detailed question to ask. One year ago grok wasn't that bad and its supposed to be the less censored.
That shouldn't be used to judge other models - it's never been true for Grok.
