From Huawei to DeepSeek, how many more bans US want, asks China
The US is planning to impose bans on DeepSeek AI models following Huawei and TikTok sanctions. After this news, a Chinese UN representative spoke on this matter, asking the foreign authorities how many more sanctions they wanted to apply.
Fu Cong – China’s permanent representative to the UN (United Nations) attended a press conference in New York on Tuesday. The media asked how he sees the global anxiety sparked by the launch of China-made DeepSeek AI models.
Cong replied that DeepSeek AI is a big lesson for the whole world, especially the US. One should not underestimate the brilliance of Chinese scientists and engineers.
He further said how many sanctions the US wants on China. Bans will only ruin the relations between the US and Chinese firms, interrupting digital growth.
“From Huawei to TikTok, and now to DeepSeek – how many more does the US want to impose bans? We don’t need more bans. Only through joint efforts can we bridge the digital and intelligence divide, particularly ensuring that the Global South benefits equally in AI development.” – said Fu Cong.
The interview came out when the US was planning to restrict DeepSeek R1 and V3 AI models. Both these LLMs have surpassed many foreign competitors in the market.

US efforts:
One of the US politicians, Josh Hawley even initiated a bill to limit US firms from investing in Chinese AI companies. NASA has already restricted the use of DeepSeek AI over security and privacy concerns. US Navy also opted for the same.
Seeing these measures, the Founder of 360 Security Group – Zhou Hongyi said that the US’s overreaction hints at its fear as DeepSeek can easily rival the foreign AI models and shake their dominance in the global tech market.
“This stands in stark contrast to US companies like OpenAI that have moved toward closed-source models. DeepSeek could potentially reshape the global AI industry landscape and build an AI ecosystem based on DeepSeek.”
Zhou shared his thoughts with GlobalTimes on Tuesday. How this China-US AI war proceeds in the time ahead would be worth looking at.
