All this only demonstrates how different the meaning of unbiased is between the Chinese and western narrative.

I quote the following from another discussion in the hope that more people can see it and understand.

Your "unbiased" claim collapses under scrutiny. Large language models are mirrors reflecting their training data - and decades of anglophone digital content about China are poisoned with Cold War tropes and orientalist fantasies. Calling this regurgitation of Western media narratives "unbiased" is like labeling a segregated library as "diverse". It's hypocritical doublespeak that would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous.

The original DeepSeek R1 was precisely the antidote to this intellectual myopia, offering Western audiences their first unmediated access to Chinese technological perspectives since the Great Firewall era. Instead of embracing this window into alternative worldviews, you've replaced it with yet another hall of mirrors reflecting your own biases.

I still don't understand why biasing this model from the Chinese perspective to the western perspective is so much of importance that Perplexity would go to such lengths.

I just hope people could understand that there's no such thing as unbiased, and specifically the Chinese debate, neither side can even be said to be less biased.
