DeepSeek will be like Huawei, BANNED
Unlike most folks here I have been there when China's bullying by US first started by banning Huawei because I used Huawei Phone back then. Huawei dominated 5G technology, semiconductor designs and Smartphone innovations, and for this it was rewarded with a BAN, not only from western markets but also Google services Playstore. Most folks in West don't know how much Huawei was deeply loved by its users, its Kirin chips being among the best, cameras dope. My P30 takes better pics than iPhone 15
Just as I predicted, DeepSeek is getting banned in the US and among its client states:
As of Feb 1, DeepSeek is banned in:
- Most US govt institutions
- Italy
- Belgium
- Taiwan
- South Korea
- France
A national ban in the US will probably drop before the end of Feb, and the rest of the Global North will follow in the coming weeks and months.
The ban will not only cover DeepSeek, but all Chinese apps. RedNote is already lumped into the DS ban in Texas, and I suspect this will become a trend.
I’m fairly confident that there will be a total or near total ban on all Chinese apps and software before the end of the year, at least in the US. Most US client states will follow thereafter, just like they did with Huawei.
Companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus etc. will also be banned in one form or another, likely from Android, like Huawei is banned currently. DJI is already banned from many US govt services, but you can expect this ban to expand rapidly.
This is why I’ve always said that the “China does nothing, wins” memes are hopium nonsense. The US Empire doesn’t need to win the tech war against China, it just needs to ban everything from China.
And you wumaos will say “But that only hurts them because now Americans can’t enjoy Chinese products and apps!” — Yes, yes it does. So what? Has the US Empire collapsed from a lack of Huawei and Chinese EVs?
Genshin Impact is getting on trial too btw. So, even Chinese games may get banned soon. Sheesh
