- Comment on China’s ambassador criticises Australia’s move to limit DeepSeek 3 weeks ago:
The guys at Hugging Face have been working on an open reproduction of DeepSeek-R1, although I don’t know how they circumvent Chinese censorship (it’s also censored if you use Deepseek locally).
Another open source AI model beats DeepSeek with 86% less data.
All this Deepseek hysteria is just based on a simple press statement released by the company. It’s another totally over-hyped model with false claims that comes with even more disadvantages than most of its rivals.

- Comment on China’s ambassador criticises Australia’s move to limit DeepSeek 3 weeks ago:
It is not open source according to the accepted definition. There is no such thing as “a lot” open source, or partly open source. This is just part of Deepseek’s PR campaign very much as many other false claims.

Defying China’s reckless actions in the West Philippine Sea – [Comment by Victor Andres C. Manhit, president of the Stratbase ADR Institute]
Just when we thought we had seen enough of China’s mischief right in our own waters, a few days ago we learned that China outdid itself yet again.
On Feb. 18, a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy helicopter performed aggressive maneuvers near a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) plane. The BFAR plane was a civilian one, conducting a lawful maritime patrol within Philippine territory. Without any provocation, the PLA helicopter harassed it, flying as close as three meters above the aircraft and endangering the lives of the Filipinos who were on board.
What reckless, hostile, and arrogant behavior. What a flat-out disregard of international law and, in fact, basic decency.
Then again, this incident is not isolated. On Feb. 11, the Australian government expressed grave concern about an “unsafe and unprofessional interaction with a PLA Air Force Aircraft.” It turns out that this PLA aircraft released flares in close proximity to an Australian aircraft which was conducting a routine maritime surveillance patrol in the South China Sea, flying in international airspace.
Rightly so, China’s acts of aerial mischief have earned it the condemnation of the international community.

- Comment on UK: Human rights group threatens legal action over alleged forced labour if authorities greenlight stock listing of Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein 1 month ago:
As an addition:
Since 2018, evidence of forced labour of Uyghur and other Turkic and Muslim majority peoples has emerged in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Uyghur Region). […] Forced labour imposed by private actors is also reported, in addition to forced marriage and organ trafficking, with vulnerability primarily driven by discriminatory government practices. While China demonstrated some efforts to tackle modern slavery through sustained coordination at the national and regional levels – including by adopting a new national action plan for 2021 to 2030[…] – its overall response is critically undermined by the use of state-imposed forced labour.
