China Commerce Ministry Offers US AI Talks but Threatens Retaliation Over Distillation Claims
Summary
China's Commerce Ministry on Sept 10 rejected the NSA/CISA/FBI advisory naming DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot, MiniMax, StepFun and Z.AI, calling distillation a 'neutral and widely used industry practice.' The ministry warned it would take 'resolute measures' if Washington uses the distillation label to suppress Chinese AI firms, while separately signaling openness to 'constructive and professional' AI talks channeled through the Xi–Trump understanding.
