China has condemned a U.S. decision to prohibit the use of DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence technology in federal systems, calling it an unjustified restriction that could hinder global cooperation in AI development. The move comes amid growing tensions over technological competition and security concerns between the two nations. Beijing argues that such bans may limit access to advanced AI tools for international researchers and businesses. The dispute highlights broader debates over how governments should regulate emerging technologies while balancing innovation and national security.
