::My educated guess is that the USA Navy banned usage of Deepseek for the same reason that the USA banned Huawei. Programmers can build sneaky ways to monitor activity and you don't want spying on your military that is preventable. Chinese companies have to accede to the demands of the Chinese state.

Compete on value instead. However, this is true: Most companies agree that a cheaper product has advantages '''in some cases'''.

:::::'''China's AI Qwen 3.7 judges this debate:''' "User: Conservative is winning because they successfully trapped RobSmith in a factual contradiction (forcing a concession), neutralized RobSmith's counter-arguments with established business principles, and provided a comprehensive, cited, and structured macroeconomic case. RobSmith is currently on the defensive, relying on semantic hair-splitting and personal attacks rather than advancing a cohesive counter-argument."[https://chat.qwen.ai/s/fd52a214-f723-4d32-a9cc-bee17cddf579?fev=0.3.20]
