People often underestimate how much impact the education of certain aspect (Infrastructure in China and Democracy in Westerner countries) has made to their values to a government, and meanwhile the education is controlled by the government to certain degree.

If I have to be precise with my natural languages sure, more closed on certain dimensions

Recent years efforts from these politicians make me believe we are heading towards the direction that one day it's not just certain dimensions but fully isolated.

Name one Chinese EV you can buy in U.S.

Name one U.S. EV you can buy in China

Now we want to do the same efforts for llm, not even allow to download to run locally that is specifically from China, and running llm doesn't even need Internet.

Honestly I've never heard such legislation in any other country, not even north korea or iran.

I can understand ban export, but banning import? Seriously? Even Kim Jong Un is riding with Mercedes.

Thinking from a different perspective, if the Chinese government has banned import of NVIDIA GPU, or downloading U.S. made llm because of so called national security reasons, DeepSeek certainly won't make such progress.

Today we are even more closed than CCP, what a joke. These elites'/attorney politicians just can't stop their arrogant attitude towards a non-western country's achievement. This is just going to destroy the industry at U.S.

We have seen examples of EV and Drones already.

Many people hide their racist views to Chinese people under the guise of criticizing the Chinese government.

Everytime when there is some achievement made by Chinese companies, there are always comments like "what about tiananmen square", "I won't trust companies under CCP supervision", "must be fake propaganda", and then being ignorant to the achievement and biased against the not-us-made models, and not focusing on the actual technical part of the achievement itself, like how they can make training so fast and what can we learn from it. Beyond that some US startup CEO even starts spreading rumors like they have 50000 H100 while the paper and model are open sourced since older versions of deepseek that everyone can reproduce and verify it, the theoretical compute need is calculable from model architect.

Sure sure that censorship is a problem, but that's a political background everyone knows, while none of the researchers of deepseek can do much about it, and literally do people think Chinese people like to put more efforts to censor LLM output?

Associate researchers with CCP without any evidence and being ignorant to their achievement is really insulting to deepseek researchers' hardworks.

1. Legal assistant (free) is mandatory for every single registered lawyer in China that they have to finish a certain quota every year.

2. Judges in China tend to ask plantiff to negotiate with defendant instead of going through a whole lawsuit process for civil cases.

Tesla is introducing CATL's battery production line.

So can I say Tesla will be controlled by CCP as well?
