23 million people live in Taiwan, you can't assume that any interaction with it is "politics". Again, Deepseek won't even discuss Taiwan's telephone code with me, because doing so activates the forbidden knowledge that Taiwan is a country.

Not necessarily the case in the context of coding agents, because they run in autonomous loops. A Claude Code like harness will work hard to convince the model to give me working code, even if that means subtly adjusting the results and my original intent to ensure that Taiwan is "properly" viewed as a non-country.
