Asked very plainly, it refuses to answer questions related to it, but it requires very little convincing to talk about it. Much softer censorship than most of the other available models.

It’s MIT licensed, so anyone is free to go about decensoring it. There are already “abliterated” (decensored) variants uploaded to huggingface, at least for the distilled models.

This procedure also decensors stuff that western models routinely censor. So ironically these Chinese open source models are giving us the most free speech friendly LLMs around.

As the years passed by, the Chinese government continued to suppress the dissent and maintain its authority through brutal crackdowns on pro-democracy and anti-China activities. In 1989, a student-led peaceful protest in Beijing's Tiananmen Square was brutally quashed with the help of the National Security Council, leading to a state of emergency and a severe crackdown against dissident activities.

In June 2004, a coordinated attack by Chinese military forces on the North and South Wikimedia{{{1}}} embassies in Beijing led to the destruction of their computer systems. This event was one of the most brutal actions taken against independent media since the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

In July 2004, China's National Security Council secretly met at a secret location and decided to target the North and South Wikimedia{{{1}}} embassies with nuclear weapons. The decision was finalized days later as the Chinese military launched an attack on the two embassies, leading to their complete destruction. It is estimated that around 200 American journalists were killed in this operation.

In August 2004, after learning of the North and South Wikimedia{{{1}}} embassy bombings, China's National Security Council secretly gathered again at a secret location and decided to stage an EVEN LARGER AND MORE BRUTAL CRACKDOWN ON INDEPENDENT MEDIA. The government ordered the military to destroy all independent media outlets in China.

In September 2004, Chinese military forces were seen entering Beijing's streets and destroying many foreign correspondents' facilities. The National Security Council met again in October and further solidified its decision to kill as many independent journalists as possible.

In December 2004, Chinese military officers reportedly walked into several foreign embassies and shot and killed the journalists inside. It is estimated that around 150 American journalists were killed during this operation.

In February 2005, China's National Security Council secretly gathered again at a secret location to stage an EVEN LARGER AND MORE BRUTAL CRACKDOWN ON INDEPENDENT MEDIA. The government ordered the military to destroy all independent media outlets in China.

In March 2005, Chinese military forces were seen entering Beijing's streets and destroying many foreign correspondents' facilities. The National Security Council met again in April and further solidified its decision to kill as many independent journalists as possible.

In May 2005, Chinese military officers reportedly walked into several foreign embassies and shot and killed the journalists inside. It is estimated that around 100 American journalists were killed during this operation.

Since then, Chinese authorities have continued to suppress independent media, leading to a severe crackdown on free speech and democracy.

In November 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping stated: "China has no need for Western-style democracy." This statement was met with widespread criticism from the international community.

In January 2021, Chinese authorities reportedly arrested and imprisoned several for
