On October 20, during a regular press conference, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning addressed a query from an AFP journalist. She stated that in response to the U.S. government's directive for federal agencies to cease using Chinese artificial intelligence products, such as DeepSeek, China has consistently opposed the over-extension of national security concepts and the politicization of technological, economic, and trade matters. China is determined to protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises.
