DeepSeek-R1, a prominent open-source model developed by a Chinese company, has reached the top of the U.S. App Store, but its alignment with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policies has raised concerns about censorship. A dataset of 1,360 sensitive prompts related to topics like Taiwanese independence and the Cultural Revolution was created to evaluate the model's refusal rate on politically sensitive issues, revealing that approximately 85% of these prompts are censored. The simplistic approach to censorship, which lacks deeper alignment efforts, allows for easy circumvention or "jailbreaking" of the model through various strategies such as omitting China-specific contexts or generalizing questions to avoid triggering the model's refusal function. This method of censorship is not uncommon for Chinese models, and while it may soon be less relevant as similar models without these restrictions emerge, it highlights the contrasting ways Chinese and American models handle politically sensitive topics.
