One example is that a totalitarian government known for erasing historical record of its crimes will control an arbitrator of truth.

The USA?
A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink "I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.
"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."
The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."
No, there might be lesser known periods in USA history but none that are censored.
Also generally the USA had never done crimes in the scale of the CCP (around 30+ million dead)
The US already decides what models get released by US companies...
so what? this has nothing to do with them taking from those that took before them. china censoring information they do not like is nothing new and seems irrelevant to this conversation
Fair enough you don't care, some people might want to know about the Uyghur happy camps, mass organ harvesting and such.
In a world where information sources are only going to dwindle, it is not in anyone's interest to empower actors that will use these to manipulate perceptions
The same people who say there is a Uyghur genocide are the ones who deny there is a Palestinian genocide. Guess which one there's video evidence of (a horrific, endless amount of evidence).
The people that care about that won't be using CCP products/services now will they?
And some people might want to know about [insert your favourite beyond-the-pale-in-the-US topic here, we're on a US forum after all]. I think it would be great if those people could turn to Chinese models, while anyone wanting to know about Uyghur camps can ask the US ones.

People in China know about this stuff.
