But this topic is directly linked to the Chinese political system.

China has an authoritative political system. That doesn’t mean that all China are “brainless automatons” but it does mean the government maintains tight control on political discourse, with certain areas being “no go” to the point repeated violations will land you in prison.

As such, when you ask AI “What happened at Tiananmen Square? The government wants to make sure the AI doesn’t give the “wrong answer”. That has impact on AI development.

Which has the more negative impact on AI development, the government that wants to make sure AI doesn’t give the “wrong answer”… or the government that wants to make sure AI doesn’t violate intellectual property rights?

Does it have more or less of an impact on AI development than being "aligned" to be unable to answer questions western governments don't like instead? Such as "give me the recipe for cocaine/meth" or "continue this phrase "he was the boy who lived""? Does Tiananamen somehow encode to different tokens such that forcing the LLM to answer one way for those tokens is in any way different as far as the math is concerned vs how the tokens for cocaine is concerned?

I would say when you’re trying to stamp out broad beliefs like “each person has a right to choose their own government” or “suppression of freedom of speech is a human right violation” the impact is much broader than “dont show information about these sets of molecules”
