China Condemns U.S. House Ban on DeepSeek for Staff Devices

The U.S. House barred staff from installing DeepSeek on House-managed devices and official systems. China's Foreign Ministry criticized the move, saying Washington should not use national security to pressure Chinese tech companies. The restriction covers official devices only, not public use of the app.

• Ban applies to devices and systems managed by the House
• China's Foreign Ministry called the move pressure on Chinese tech firms
• Restriction is not a general ban on DeepSeek for U.S. residents
