Western fears about Chinese censorship are not a new issue. Recently, however, the topic of Chinese censorship has made a reappearance into the news with the release of the Chinese LLM Deep Seek. I was able to find lots of articles related to this topic, and they were all written pretty similarly.

China continues to actively suppress minority languages, which further suppresses minor ethnic populations in China. You can actively see the censorship when talking about this issue by comparing these two articles.

Taiwan's and China's cultural fragrance is very similar, after all the most populous ethnic group in both nations is the Han Chinese. So why wouldn't the people of Taiwan want to join with the PRC? According to this Brookings Article this is due to a lack of alignment with the PRC government.

I read this article www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
This article focuses is on system blaming. With Trump cracking down on illegal immigrants in the US it is putting those who are undocumented in the danger of being deported.

This article uses thematic anchoring. Technology is developing at a rapid rate, forcing different societies to respond. These days the biggest push is with AI education, especially with the youth as AI and its technology are not going away.
