DHS Orders Federal Agencies to Remove China's DeepSeek AI as Reports Link It to Huawei Chips
Photo: ZeroHedgeThe Department of Homeland Security has ordered federal civilian agencies to remove AI developed by China's DeepSeek from their systems, according to reports published Monday. The directive is the latest setback for a leading Chinese AI model whose popularity has surged. A headline on the order refers to multiple threat vectors. The order came within hours of a separate report that DeepSeek is now designing AI chips for Huawei. Both developments are described as part of intensifying US-China competition in artificial intelligence.
As of writing, left-leaning outlets had not reported this story, while right-leaning and alternative/independent outlets had. The right-leaning New York Post leads with the DHS crackdown, presenting it as a blow to DeepSeek's rise and stressing the security risks cited. The alternative outlet ZeroHedge puts the DHS order beside the Huawei chip-design report, reading the two together as evidence of separate US and Chinese AI technology stacks with shrinking overlap. The two accounts agree on the order and the competitive backdrop; they differ mainly in emphasis.
How the sides differ Left sources have not covered the story; right sources focus on the DHS removal order, while alternative sources pair it with a Huawei chip report and a US-China split.
