Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Beijing opposes broadening national-security concepts and politicizing technology and trade after a question about U.S. restrictions on Chinese AI products, according to a BlockBeats flash.
Question about DeepSeek restrictions
An AFP reporter asked about a U.S. government requirement that federal agencies stop using DeepSeek and other Chinese AI products over possible sensitive-data transfers. The flash presented that language as the question to the ministry, not as an independently verified finding.
China’s response
Mao said China would oppose politicizing technology and trade and would defend the legal rights of Chinese companies. The report attributed the briefing to Beijing Daily.
