You can give custom instructions to a model like K3 when you host it locally.

Besides, if the government of France is working out a deal to host a model like K3 as a sort of "Government Service AI," they'd surely need to pay, and they'd likely be able to work out a deal where sensitive political issues are resolved in a way that doesn't embarrass either party.

It is unclear if that would be sufficient to circumvent trained-in propaganda.

I mean, you can open LM Studio right now and just download any model tagged "uncensored" or "heretic" and they have had all limitations trained and/or instructed out of them. If they can be trained to not have limitations regarding content, I don't see why propaganda would be any different.

		"All" sounds like marketing to me; if the bleeding edge AI firms knew how to do such a thing with such reliably, they'd do it themselves to prevent models from committing felonies while under test. Improving false positives scores at the expense of false negatives, that's much more likely. Propaganda can still move things when it's reduced frequency. And propaganda has the added twist that, when done right, the person observing it nods along and changes their mind. "Why yes," they think, "Chinese politicians are clearly much wiser than ours; our politicians made all those mistakes I can easily recall, gosh those were the worst". Or perhaps "Yeah! Why should American blood be spilled to defend a small island on the other side of an ocean!" (not that it matters if the ocean is Atlantic or Pacific, nor if the island is Taiwan or Great Britain).
