Foreign Ministry responds to U.S. government ban on Chinese AI: will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises

October 20 - Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. An AFP reporter asked: The U.S. government requires U.S. federal agencies to stop using Chinese artificial intelligence products such as DeepSeek, because they may involve the transfer of sensitive data. What is China's comment on this? Mao Ning said that China has always opposed the overstretching of the concept of national security and the politicization of science, technology and economic and trade issues. We will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
