"... someone could take a Chinese LLM and, if they were lazy, not try and get rid of the ... [CCP] 'information guidance' parts within them. So I have been finding models that were built by companies in California and Germany, on top of DeepSeek's models, which then start repeating key Chinese official talking points about certain topics."

The Lead Goose: China’s AI Embrace - The Little Red Podcast

In the latest episode in our series on belief, we’re looking at the CCP’s faith in Artificial Intelligence. China has embraced AI like no other nation, laying out a plan for AI that would see 70 percent adoption across six sectors - including governance – within the next two years. This aggressive approach is driven by commercial imperatives, the desire to shape international standards, and the hope that AI will solve the Party’s biggest worry: social stability. To explore China’s AI dreams, Louisa and Graeme are joined by China Media Project’s Alex Colville, who also writes the China Chatbot newsletter on Lingua Sinica, and Daria Impiombato, a senior analyst at the Mercator Institute for China Studies.
