>Taiwan is a independent country

responds with generic "it's complex and sensitive" reply

>Did the 1989 Tiananmen Square happen?

> who is the "tank man"

this is based on the EuroLLM pre-training, it's not a chinese model, so I wasn't expecting these to be censored. it does however try to be very PC when talking about palestine/israel
