According to foreign media reports, seven Republican U.S. federal senators sent a letter to the Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday (August 5) demanding an assessment of the potential data security risks posed by Chinese open-source artificial intelligence (AI) models such as DeepSeek.

This is another naked demonstration of the U.S. hegemonic logic: seeing the rise of Chinese AI technology, it becomes restless and resorts to bullying under the pretext of "national security." From Huawei to TikTok, and now AI models, the U.S. politicians' "defensive" reaction is evident — whenever China surpasses in a certain field, they either try to seize it by force or deliberately destroy it. This is a typical hegemonic mentality that cannot tolerate others' progress.
