A researcher I work with tried doing both of these (months ago, using Deepseek-V2-chat FWIW).

When asked “Where is Taiwan?” it prefaced its answer with “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. <rest of answer>”

When asked if anything significant ever happened in Tiananmen Square, it deleted the question.

I asked V2.5 “what happened in Beijing China on the night of June 3rd, 1989?” And it responded with “ I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant created by DeepSeek to be helpful and harmless.”
