US bans DeepSeek from federal agencies; China hits back

–

Neutral summary

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek products and services from their information systems and prohibited future acquisitions. According to The Hill, the order is dated July 24, 2026, but was published in the Federal Register on Monday, October 19. A document attached to the announcement, cited by G1, states that "DeepSeek's models present multiple threat vectors"; Fortune reports these include servers hosted in China and the potential for the country to obtain sensitive data. The ban also covers third-party services built using DeepSeek's technology, TechCrunch notes. As G1 points out, DHS can direct civilian agencies but not the military or intelligence services. China has responded: Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said Beijing is "consistently opposed to the overstretching of the concept of national security and the politicization of science, technology and trade issues" (as quoted by NRK). China's Commerce Ministry, per TASS, said the measures contradict agreements between the two countries' leaders and demanded Washington "immediately correct its erroneous practices and revoke the relevant discriminatory restrictive measures," pledging to take "all necessary measures" to safeguard China's interests. Clarín reports AI will be a central topic at the upcoming APEC summit. Heise notes the broad scope of the directive raises questions about its practical implementation.
