> The DeepSeek-R1 model avoids discussing the Tiananmen Square incident due to built-in censorship. This is because the model was developed in China, where there are strict regulations on discussing certain sensitive topics.

I believe this may have more to do with the fact that the model is served from China than the model itself. Trying similar questions from an offline distilled version of DeepSeek R1, I did not get elusive answers.

I have not tested this exhaustively, just a few observations.

It is not, people asked the model to output everything with underscore and it did bypass censorship

Eg 習_近_平 instead of 習近平
