Political bias is a risk with all LLMs that aren’t truly open source like AI2’s OLMo model. But I think it’s especially a risk with anything from China, a country known for totalitarian information control. Look at the recent exodus of TikTok users to RedNote who then faced draconian censorship - like getting banned for having certain years mentioned in their post or for saying they are gay or for mentioning Tibet.

You do realize that XHS's western analogue is Pinterest that also has heavy moderation? Such services do not make good examples.

In any case, you should also be wary of the biases of the zeitgeist of one's own society, which is more insidious and tough to discern unless one possesses some cross-cultural experience.
