China Criticizes U.S. Ban on DeepSeek A.I. in Government Systems

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 21 October 2026 and 21 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The response came after Homeland Security ordered the removal and exclusion of products developed by the Chinese company.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the US government’s move against DeepSeek, but they frame it differently. The Guardian US leads with the ban itself and adds the defense department’s warning about sensitive data potentially being transferred to China. The New York Times instead foregrounds China’s criticism of the ban and, in its extract, uniquely mentions Homeland Security ordering the removal and exclusion of DeepSeek products.
