That seems quite dystopian to me. I'd at least like to know who my assailant is when I am harmed. Is there some reliable channel with accessible information in a democratic social context that is not sketchy? Not that the USA has such when Musk is first citizen of Rome or the real senate is a Koch meeting convened every 6 months.
The Chinese government literally has a 95.5% approval rating as researched by Harvard University over 15 years. The party is not terribly worried about criticism. In fact, because the party is structured with a bunch of internal factions, they are constantly experiencing criticism.
Not a Chinese person, and I don't really know much about their style, but if random guesses are ok:
It may have been turned off, due to the risk that politically motivated actors may use it to print out something and then use it for propaganda, saying that a Chinese AI has exposed the CPC n all?
Especially since the U S is a trade war with them and there has been usage of genocide propaganda^*^ against them? * - Considering that the same people have no similar level of concern about Gaza
I think you should ask in some Chinese community. If not, maybe most of the answers would be similar to mine, guesses, which will mostly be our views rather than the fact whether the average Chinese person has info on their leaders.
China has a pretty strict policy about not allowing anything that is anti-social and can be used to create mass unrest. A generative AI that can produce millions of fake news stories about political leaders is one of those anti-social things. It was one of the reasons OpenAI was so terrified of the possibilities of what they figured out. China just made it policy instead of sitting idly by whole bad actors automated incendiary publishing.
Deepseek avoids topics that are usually considered political. AI as a hallucination machine is especially useless with political content as it is extremely polluted with propaganda and wildly different views on similar contexts, so it isn't for censorship. And yes, the people in China know about and speak about their leadership.
