It's the first time in the history of the world.
Claude suddenly speaks Chinese, and the first reaction of the netizens is: "Hurry up, Dario is fishing again!"
These two days, Claude popped up "Choose your language" on the end of the web and the end of the desktop, with Chinese (simplified) consistently playing, Chinese (plural) standing next to each other.
The buttons, menus, settings pages, the whole page is in Chinese. The language list is drawn to over thirty languages, and the mobile app is not yet on the front page of the web and desktop.
It's even more exciting on the checkout page: In the drop-down menu of bill countries, China appears to be on the list of $20, Pro, and $200 Max.
After reading the Chinese blogger on X, the first sentence is:Careful, it looks like Dario Shark is enforcing a new trick!
Shark Enforcement has been made into a seriesThe netizens are so cautious, they are scared.
At the end of September, Claude issued a $250 allowance. Someone got it this morning, went to GitHub, and at noon received a sealed e-mail from the Anthropic security team, with only one line of justification: a violation of the "Supporting Regional Policy".
The netizens summed it up nicely: early birds eat insects and early birds eat ban.
On October 1, Claude sent another physical doll. In the bill of lading, the country selected China, followed immediately by the following: National ID Card Number.
Other people are around, and you're leading a real-name certificate. An orange doll exchanged 18 identification numbers, and the netizens weighed themselves.
$250, toys, and the Chinese interface.This is the first episode of the third season of Shark Enforcement.
Don't be happy too early, the door is still locked.The same blogger soon spread the rumour that the accounting page could choose China as the truth, and so on.
In the official list of regions supported by the C-League, no country jumped directly from Chile to Colombia, mainland China and Hong Kong.
A drop-down menu doesn't change a support list. It's really open, it changes documents and announcements.
This year, Anthropic's attitude towards China has been written on the front page.
In September 2025, companies holding more than 50% of Chinese equity holdings will not be sold. In July this year, the official statement strictly prohibited access to Claude in unsupported areas.
Dario himself has been a strong supporter of Chinese export controls.
This screen in Chinese is for overseas Chinese.Chinese students in Singapore, Malaysia, and China studying abroad in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia were users of Claude.
They used to look at a menu in English, and now they can finally look at Chinese.
Speaking of which, Claude's help documentation has long been in Simplified Chinese, voice conversations have been able to speak Mandarin, and the biased interface has been dragged back to the present.
And now it's because Claude is in a hurry to get out of the circle.
In a16z's latest Consumer AI 100, Claude's revenue jumped to second in the number of paid subscribers in the United States, with ChatGPT's lead down from eight to three times.
However, its new features in almost half of the year, aimed at only 2.6% of the average consumer.
As far as mainland users are concerned, Claude's Chinese is fluent and will only say one thing to you: the region is not supported for the time being.
