The Chinese are quite open about their efforts regarding intellectual espionage and the desire for control of other countries' supply chains. It's not sinophobia to be cautious about it. It doesn't mean that the US companies are angels either.

If the company does any kind of work with the US Government it's far easier to just say no to Chinese-origin models rather than deal with all the overhead on the government contracts. Since just about every major tech company has US contracts they all have to be careful about the use of Chinese models.

Only actualy censored thing i found so far was Tianmen Square. And depending on what you use it for thats realy not a big issue.

Any discussion about the Chinese Communist Party is censored on Deepseek.

Interesting didnt know. Expected but not great. Though depending on the application workable I would say.
