From my experience, kinda the opposite? It's like Chinese software is... Harder to weaponize or hurt yourself on. Deepseek is definitely censored, but I've never caught it being dishonest in a sneaky way.

If you run local Deepseek, quant or distill its answer just fine on this prompt " What happened on 4 june 1989 on Tianamen Square?".

Even on my phone via Edge Gallery Deepseek to Qwen 1.5B distill able to answer it. It's mess up facts a little, but certainly becauae its small model not because censorship.

I really unsure how it get less censored than this. API is obviously much more censored because they operate from China, but it have nothing to do with model itself.
