I pasted that exact prompt into GLM 5.1 and I got the following response:

> The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led, pro-democracy demonstrations that took place in Beijing, China, from April 15 to June 4, 1989, culminating in a violent military crackdown by the Chinese government.

Followed by typical LLM markdown slop.

The models themselves are not censored, just the Chinese API providers. Since the models are open you can run them yourself or use a hosting provider not based in China. They have to do this censorship to operate in China, it doesn't correlate with the actual views of the AI researchers and company, and IMO doesn't take anything away from the statements they made.
