Well this is just ban on government devices for the DeepSeek app specifically - it's tough for me to say for this type of ban. If they are to ban the DeepSeek app or open source hosted by US companies for personal devices then I'd say it is.
If anyone is interested in realistic explanation what DeepSeek really is without reading the actual paper this is a good one from Ben Thompson who lives in Taiwan. Most of reports here have descended into certain narratives and mischaracterization on several fronts including costs etc. If people continue to unable to put aside preconceived notions on innovations in China I think they are going to be surprised a lot, like Robotics, EV, Biotech, AI etc in the future.
