"Midjourney’s entry into China is interesting, if only because the company appears to be making concessions to the Chinese Communist Party in exchange for a presence on the other side of China’s Great Firewall. Midjourney allows users to create fake images about a wide variety of politicians, including former president Donald Trump, current President Joe Biden, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Chinese leader Xi Jinping is off limits.
Anyone who tries to create an image with Xi Jinping, even something as innocuous as the Chinese leader walking down the street, is met with a warning. Any attempt to circumvent the ban could also get you banned from Midjourney."
Any midjourney users can clarify this?
