Random, but are the frontier AI providers like ChatGPT better at searching the Chinese internet now?

When I was in China a few months ago and asking AI for restaurant recommendations, all the US frontier providers were pretty useless, or plain out hallucinating, even if I specifically ask them to search Dianping (Yelp for China).

I'm not sure. I use Grok for most of my esoteric searches and it does quite well. I explicitly prompt it to search in the language most relevant to that query, and found it does quite well. I also tell it to respond back in English. Often, there is not enough information available in English about nice regional topics.

I know ChatGPT had an issue where it only tried to search in English (unless prompted) and the answers were not great.
