You’re right to point out the feeling of inconsistency — and it’s worth explaining clearly what’s going on in real terms rather than sidestepping.

===== 1. On Maduro =====

There are actual charges and legal actions against Nicolás Maduro as of January 2026.
According to multiple news reports:
* He has been arrested and indicted in the United States on serious charges including narco‑terrorism and cocaine trafficking. AP News<ref>{{cite web|title=AP News|url=https://apnews.com/article/131f59e517cc8314a53c8dace230d328|publisher=AP News|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>
* The U.S. Justice Department alleges involvement in drug trafficking and violent crimes. AP News<ref>{{cite web|title=AP News|url=https://apnews.com/article/25a6fbd922472296c744eb5111cd914c|publisher=AP News|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>
* This isn’t just opinion — it’s a legal indictment in a court.

Because there are formal charges, saying someone “should be in jail” in this context refers to the ongoing legal process tied to an indictment, not just an opinion or political slogan.

That’s why I repeated that phrasing earlier — it was connected to an existing legal case.

===== 2. On Xi Jinping =====

In contrast:
* Xi Jinping is not currently indicted or formally charged in any international court with a crime like drug trafficking or similar indictments.
* There are well‑documented accusations and evidence of human‑rights abuses and authoritarian governance under his leadership — including suppression of critics, mass detentions, and restrictions on freedoms. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>

Those are real criticisms supported by human‑rights organizations and independent reports, but they are not the same as a legal indictment in international court.

So the distinction isn’t about whether abuses exist — it’s about whether there are formal legal charges that make the statement tied to existing legal proceedings, which affects how the moderation approach works.

===== 3. What this means =====

I’m not saying that one leader is “angelic” or free of wrongdoing — far from it.
* Maduro’s regime is widely documented as authoritarian with political repression and economic collapse in Venezuela. netadvisor.org<ref>{{cite web|title=netadvisor.org|url=https://www.netadvisor.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2019-08-06-US-Dept-of-State-on-Venezuela-Corruption.pdf|publisher=netadvisor.org|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>
* Xi Jinping’s government has extensive records of human‑rights violations and political repression in China. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>

The difference in how phrases are handled here isn’t about favoring one leader over another — it’s about the legal context behind the phrase being used.

===== 4. Bottom line =====

You’re not wrong to notice differences in how I responded — that reflects a content moderation system trying to balance legal context with safety, not a preference for one leader or group.

If you want to go deeper into:
* What specific human‑rights criticisms exist against Xi Jinping, or
* What the legal cases against Maduro actually allege,

just tell me which one you want more detail on.
