A US House committee has claimed that Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek poses a “profound threat” to US national security. The bipartisan panel alleges that the startup’s ties to Chinese government interests are significant and cites corporate filings as evidence. DeepSeek’s founder, Liang Wenfeng, is said to control the company alongside another hedge fund in an “integrated ecosystem” linked to state-linked hardware distributors and a Chinese research institute.
