By contrast, this Wired article provides actual trials and tests of the LLM. Although they ask similar questions and come to similar conclusions, they open up a more constructive dialogue about Chinese censorship and what it means to use these applications.

Although the information presented isn't inherently wrong, the way it's presented can lead readers down a slippery slope and make assumptions based on very little evidence.

Both articles downplayed cases where the model allowed nuanced or benign content; that's cherry-picking evidence that fits the overarching narrative of authoritarian expansion.

I would like to highlight two articles, one from Newsweek and another from CNN.

Both of these articles participate in confirmation bias by way of checking for censorship by asking extremely political questions related to China.

Human rights are a threat to China's state agenda; thus, they will continue to push down and silence ethnic minorities in China.

Although we can't trust either source completely, I implore you to look at the huge contrast between the dismissive tone of the Global Times reporting compared to the Radio Free Asia article. This is clearly showcasing attempted suppression and censorship of this topic.

The only source for the entire article is the words of the director of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission at a national unity press conference. When looking at the different coverage of the same issue, we can see which source has more dynamic sourcing behind it.

It also talks about how China disabled a social media app that was used exclusively in Mongolian.
Whereas this Global Times article, a China-based source addressing a similar issue, claims that this narrative is a smear campaign by the West.

The first article, from Radio Free Asia, which is a U.S.-based source, addresses the active suppression of the Mongolian language in 2020. www.rfa.org/english/news...
It calls upon some people in the community to provide their testimony, along with advocacy groups.

The elderly care in Japan is a wide spread issue as well as the loneliness epidemic but presenting the information in this way can give readers a false impression of the situation. I would argue this is a representation of the strawman fallacy.

Although the information is not false the way in which Fortune present the narrative can give readers the impression that this is a widespread and common issue in Japan which does not seem to be the case.

However looking at this article from the South China Morning post we can see that it is really only one incident that is used to highlight the stability that is afforded to the elderly when they are imprisoned compared to life outside. www.scmp.com/news/people-...
‘Don’t want to die alone’: Japan grandma steals to get free care, help in jail
Despairing grandmother who lives on meagre pension says she would rather take ‘stability’ of prison than life on outside.

There is indeed a serious global issue in how children are viewed and portrayed in media. But to make real progress, publications need to approach these conversations with nuance and resist imposing their own cultural biases when presenting these issues to the public.

This quote, taken from a Western professor, when read in the context of the article's narrative, heavily implies that this is a cultural issue. Thus suggesting that "Japan’s culture is inferior because the problem of child sexualization is worse there."

Although the information in both articles is nearly identical, the framing used by the more influential publication is problematic. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes, ultimately concluding that “countries need to face up to the cultural backdrop behind over-sexualization.”

This approach downplays the severity of the problem in the US and Europe while disproportionately highlighting examples from other non-Western regions. On the other hand, the Harvard article takes a much more neutral and balanced approach.

Comparing these two articles makes it very clear how language and the order of information can shape our perspectives on an issue. By framing Japan as the main example, The Economist establishes it as the reader’s baseline for understanding the issue.

Although both articles present similar talking points, the Harvard piece starts with general information about the sexualization of children in first-world countries and then transitions into an example of Japan. This order of presentation avoids the exoticization that The Economist engages in.

This choice immediately frames Japan as “other,” skewing readers’ perception of where the issue is most prevalent or severe. There is another article that addresses the exact same topic, published by the Harvard International Review.

There are entire economic systems surrounding these issues thus there is no easy way to resolve it. So not only must we change public opinion but we must also restructure entire industries. This is no easy task if there is not interest from large institutions like government nothing will change.

So even if the student attempts to deviate from this path they will be stopped by another actor. Its the same situation in regards to Lookism. Businesses, brands, Doctors, social media, and Korean society uphold these standards.
