   US DHS orders civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek; China vows countermeasures

   The Decoder reports that the US Department of Homeland Security recently ordered civilian federal agencies to remove all DeepSeek products from their IT systems, with the ban also covering software from other vendors built on DeepSeek's open-source models and prohibiting future purchases. Washington says it is concerned that Beijing could access sensitive data through DeepSeek; China's Foreign Ministry accused the US of stretching the concept of national security, and the Commerce Ministry demanded that the ban be lifted and vowed resolute countermeasures. The Decoder notes that China does not approve ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and that since 2023 the Cyberspace Administration has reviewed AI services for political compliance, and it characterizes Beijing's protest as mainly a political signal that lays the groundwork for future retaliation.
