It clearly reveals that Chinese 'Open Source' AI are just tools for Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

How do you figure? This is not the conclusion of this study. The study concludes with the fairly inoccuous point that a given country's AI systems will oftentimes mirror that country's values and government strategies. The word "propaganda" does not show up in the body of study a single time.

This study underscores a critical insight: AI chatbots are not neutral vessels of information. They are deeply embedded in political, cultural, and regulatory environments, and their outputs often reflect those influences. In China, for example, AI systems are explicitly tasked with reinforcing “core socialist values” and safeguarding state authority. This shapes not only what chatbots are permitted to say, but also how they transmit knowledge, define truth, and present information to align with state and societal ideologies.

For policymakers, the findings highlight the urgent need to integrate AI governance into broader debates around digital sovereignty, freedom of expression, and the integrity of public discourse. For developers, the research stresses the importance of transparency, context-aware design, and an awareness of how AI operates across jurisdictions and political systems. For users, understanding the potential for chatbot bias is now a key component of digital and AI literacy, recognizing that AI outputs are mediated, curated, and, at times, censored.

Before the conclusion, we see:

By contrast, Western chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude tend to reflect a wider range of perspectives, including international legal and human rights debates. This divergence illustrates how AI systems are deeply shaped by their geopolitical environments, reinforcing the notion that chatbot outputs are not neutral. Instead, they are embedded with ideological assumptions—raising broader implications for freedom of information, AI governance, and global epistemic plurality.

Anyone can run an experiment when the lead the question to AI. lmao at how chatgpt characterizes the Native American genocide versus DeepSeek.
