China Opposes U.S. Order to Remove DeepSeek From Civilian Agencies

China criticized a U.S. order to remove DeepSeek technology from federal civilian agency systems and exclude its products from procurement, objecting to what it called the politicization of technology and trade. At an Oct. 20 briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said China opposes broadening the concept of national security and turning technology and trade issues into political matters. “We will resolutely safeguard Chinese businesses’ lawful rights and interests,” Mao said. The question that prompted Mao’s response raised a concern about possible transfers of sensitive data.
