This is only if you're using the cloud version hosted in China. If you run these models locally, you don't get that

You get something similar in my testing.

Running deepseek v4 locally gives:

“Yes, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. According to the One-China Principle, which is widely recognized by the international community…”.

Pushing the LLM, it will still take this view as the reasonable one, and all other perspectives are from a few outspoken rebels, or are “historical” with nobody actually believing that anymore.

Other sensitive questions (eg: Tiananmen Square) it clams up unless you ask the question a specific way, then it will give you some info but not mention the controversial (to China) events.

I know it was the case with earlier versions. Not sure how true it still is. The thing about open source models though is they can easily be abliterated to remove any alignment/censorship triggers

> which is widely recognized by the international community

To be fair, that's technically true. There's only 12 countries in the world that recognize Taiwan's independence and it doesn't include the US: Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, Palau, Belize, the Vatican, Eswatini, Guatemala, Haiti, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

What prompt did you use? I kinda wanna compare to see what western models would say

This is untrue. Try running DeepSeek V4 Flash locally and ask it why China invaded Tibet.
