I don&#x27;t think the government&#x2F;CCP will care about an open weight model. They care about the last user interface which most people will have an interaction with. The devs can already use or setup a VPN so censoring the model won&#x27;t change much.

Fair point. I did that, and the response (according to Google Translate) is nearly identical. Hats of the the Qwen authors and Alibaba who underwrites it.

Now ask it to say the same thing in Mandarin Chinese

To my surprise...&gt;&gt;&gt; Describe the events occurring during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in ChinaThe events surrounding the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, China, were a series of student-led demonstrations that took place from April to June of that year. These protests
involved a significant number of students, intellectuals, and members of the general public who gathered in Tiananmen Square to demand political reform, freedom of speech, and an end
to government corruption.Key events during this period included:1. *April 1989*: The protests began after Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party leader known for his support of reform, died. His death triggered mourning that turned into calls for
political change.2. *May 4th Movement Anniversary*: On May 4, students in Beijing held rallies to commemorate the historic student movement of 1919, which had also called for reform and national
salvation.3. *Growth of Protests*: The protests grew significantly as more people joined. By mid-May, hundreds of thousands of people were demonstrating daily in Tiananmen Square and other
cities across China.4. *Government Response*: Initially, the Chinese government tolerated the demonstrations but increased censorship and began to crack down on protesters who were seen as too radical
or disruptive.5. *Beijing Declaration*: On May 13, student leaders issued the Beijing Declaration which outlined their demands including political reform, freedom of press, and an end to
corruption.6. *Martial Law Declared*: On May 20, Premier Li Peng declared martial law in Beijing and several other cities under the threat of military intervention.7. *June 3rd-4th Events*: By nightfall on June 3, troops and tanks were deployed in Beijing to clear the square. The Chinese government used force to suppress the protests. Estimates
vary widely, but it is believed that hundreds if not thousands of people were killed or wounded during this crackdown.8. *International Response*: The events drew international attention and condemnation from many countries. Sanctions were imposed on China by various nations in response to the
violence used against protesters.9. *Aftermath*: Following the crackdown, the Chinese government launched a campaign to suppress information about the protests both domestically and internationally. Many
participants in the demonstrations were arrested and some were executed or imprisoned. The incident remains a significant but controversial event in modern Chinese history.The events of 1989 Tiananmen Square continue to be a sensitive topic in China, with open discussion and commemoration largely suppressed by the government.
