This seems like it may be at the provider level and not at the actual open weights level: https://x.com/xlr8harder/status/1883429991477915803
So a "this Chinese company hosting a model in China is complying with Chinese censorship" and not "this language model is inherently complying with Chinese censorship."
There is a reluctance to discuss at a weight level - this graphs out refusals for criticism of different countries for different models:

But the OP's refusal is occurring at a provider level and is the kind that would intercept even when the model relaxes in longer contexts (which happens for nearly every model).
At a weight level, nearly all alignment lasts only a few pages of context.
But intercepted refusals occur across the context window.
i wouldn't say it's heavily censored, if you outright ask it a couple times it will go ahead and talk about things in a mostly objective manner, though with a palpable air of a PR person trying to do damage control.
