China’s DeepSeek, MiniMax Win Approval for AI Global Use, State Media-Affiliated Entity Says
The approvals come as Beijing moves to tighten oversight of sensitive AI transfers, while most open-source models remain exportable under simplified licensing.
- On October 20, China opposed The United States Department of Homeland Security's ban on DeepSeek AI tools for government agencies, with Beijing spokesperson Mao Ning calling the move "overstretched."
- The Department banned DeepSeek products on October 19, warning that use "may result in the transfer of sensitive data to if used by United States government employees or vendors." Officials cited servers in China permitting the government "extensive authority" over company infrastructure.
- Locked in a race for artificial intelligence dominance, the United States and China recently traded accusations of stealing technology. The United States has alleged that Chinese firms like DeepSeek systematically steal capabilities of cutting-edge models developed by American rivals.
- While The Department's directive covers civilian agencies, it does not apply to military or intelligence services. The Department stated DeepSeek's models "present multiple threat vectors" and mandated their removal from all information technology devices.
- Despite fierce competition in artificial intelligence, the United States and China agreed in September to establish a "communication channel" for AI incidents. Leaders are expected to revisit these tensions at a summit in Shenzhen in November.
