Because this never gets brought up about US models, which have just as much censorship as the Chinese ones.

No, US models have alignment. Only Chinese models have censorship.
US models are happily parroting Russian fakes. US censorship is a joke.
Can you point me to one example? (Without web search, of course). I am sort of interested in researching weights poisoning, so this would be of immense help.
Please educate us - which accurate and provable events in history are censored by US based LLMs as part of a government enforced reeducation campaign?
Does it even matter which agendas get censored? Like why won't my Claude tell me how to make sarin gas? I'd genuinely like to understand it. Sure, you can always reach for a justification saying "preventing terrorism" but the same argument can be made by Chinese AI labs.

What actually matters is that the mere tool is withholding information at all, and that the boundaries were set by whoever designed it.

Dont get me wrong I've been an advocate of this stuff (I carry two phones, one with GOS for my personal use and the other for ID verifications). However, without reasoning, you just can't see it, because you're as biased and propagandized as anyone in China.

You can read this in Wikipedia. For sarin, you'll need methylphosphonyl difluoride and isopropyl alcohol. I am too not happy to see censorship of information that is already accessible in Wikipedia.
You should read OPs responses in this thread. He actually does test US models. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
