Chinese Commerce Ministry: US Violates Xi-Trump Agreement with DeepSeek Ban

China has accused the United States of violating an agreement made by Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump regarding the use of DeepSeek AI in federal civilian agencies. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has urged Washington to lift discriminatory measures against Chinese tech companies, warning that Beijing will take necessary actions to protect its businesses. The U.S. decision, based on cybersecurity concerns, specifically targets DeepSeek products and third-party services integrating its models, without broadly affecting private companies. The Chinese Foreign Ministry previously expressed opposition to this decision, claiming that the U.S. is misusing national security to discriminate against Chinese firms.
