State Department Names Names in China AI Theft Campaign

A diplomatic cable instructing posts worldwide to publicize theft allegations against specific companies is not a warning — it is a designation in motion. The State Department's decision to builds the public record that precedes formal action. Sanctions and export control expansions require documented justification; this cable is that documentation, distributed globally before any legal proceeding has concluded. DeepSeek is now named in the record. That record does not expire.
