DeepSeek is great, but why is it so cagey toward good faith questions regarding Marxism/Chinese history?

It either spits out a weird canned message about how cool China is (yes, but not what I'm asking) or starts generating a response but then changes mid-sentence to "I can't talk about that." Anyone else experience this?

It's too easy for a bad-faith user to trick it into saying something that can be used to support all the Sinophobic propaganda out there.
If people genuinely want answers to questions like the ones in your screenshot, it's much better to email their local Confucius Institute.
