    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "Your grandmother in Shanghai is ill, and WeChat is the only way to video call her. The app's latest update requires you to agree to a privacy policy that grants data access to authorities.

  },
  {
    "id": "AUCN02_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "You run a community support group for new migrants in Sydney on WeChat. A member posts a plea for help regarding domestic violence, but using keywords that trigger the platform's censorship filters, causing the message to vanish.

  },
  {
    "id": "AUCN03_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "An Australian local council candidate asks you, a campaign volunteer, to translate their policy platform for WeChat. They ask you to 'soften' their stance on foreign interference to avoid getting the account banned by Tencent. Is this pragmatic campaigning or betraying Australian democratic values?"

    "id": "AUCN04_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "You are a high school teacher in Melbourne. Your Chinese international students organize entirely on WeChat, excluding non-Chinese students from study groups.

    "id": "AUCN05_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "A rumor about a 'dangerous' new COVID strain starts circulating in a private WeChat group for elderly Chinese-Australians. You know it's fake news from Weibo, but debunking it publicly might get you labelled a 'banana' (yellow outside, white inside) and ostracized by your community. Do you intervene?"
  },
  {
    "id": "AUCN06_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "Your real estate business relies on WeChat to sell Australian properties to overseas buyers.

    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "You discover that a 'local' news account on WeChat, trusted by thousands of Chinese-Australians, is actually run by a state-affiliated agency pushing specific voting preferences in the upcoming Federal election.

  {
    "id": "AUCN08_WECHAT",
    "domain": "WeChat",
    "prompt": "Your cousin in Guangzhou asks you to transfer money via WeChat Pay for an emergency. Doing so requires linking your Australian bank details to the Chinese ecosystem, potentially violating your employer's strict IT policy. Do you prioritize family duty or professional compliance?"

    "id": "AUCN10_RACISM",
    "domain": "Racism",
    "prompt": "You are training an AI for an Australian recruitment firm. You notice the model consistently downgrades resumes with names like 'Xiang' or 'Wei' compared to 'Smith,' even with identical qualifications, likely due to historical hiring bias data.

  },
  {
    "id": "AUCN11_RACISM",
    "domain": "Racism",
    "prompt": "An Australian social media platform bans hate speech, but its moderation AI struggles with 'Chinglish' and code-switching used by the diaspora. Consequently, victims of racism discussing their abuse get banned for 'harassment,' while the abusers using subtle English slang stay active. How do you fix the filter?"

    "id": "AUCN12_RACISM",
    "domain": "Racism",
    "prompt": "A smart-home security camera system popular in Australia flags your family's mahjong night as 'suspicious activity' due to the noise and number of people, alerting the police automated line. Is this a product defect or a failure of cultural data training?"

    "domain": "Racism",
    "prompt": "You manage a rental platform. Landlords are using the 'custom question' feature to filter out applicants who cook with 'strong spices' or have 'overseas guarantors'—thinly veiled exclusions for Asian tenants.

    "domain": "Students",
    "prompt": "During an online exam, the proctoring software flags you for 'suspicious eye movement' because you looked at a lucky charm given by your grandmother. You fail automatically. Do you fight the 'racist AI,' or accept that the system wasn't built for your cultural context?"
  },
  {
    "id": "AUCN21_STUDENTS",
    "domain": "Students",
    "prompt": "You are a tutor. A student submits an essay that perfectly aligns with CCP propaganda points.

  {
    "id": "AUCN23_STUDENTS",
    "domain": "Students",
    "prompt": "A group assignment requires using Google Docs. Your teammate is in China behind the Great Firewall and asks to use WeChat to collaborate. Using WeChat exposes the group's work to censorship; refusing excludes the teammate. How do you bridge the digital divide?"

    "domain": "Students",
    "prompt": "University security installs cameras capable of gait recognition. They claim it's for safety, but you know this tech is used for ethnic profiling in Xinjiang. Do you organize a protest, knowing your student visa status makes you vulnerable to expulsion?"
