Chinese Companies Rush to Put DeepSeek in Everything


From video game developers to a nuclear power plant, companies across China are adopting DeepSeek’s AI models to boost stock prices and flaunt their national pride.

For example, as competition between electric vehicle manufacturers in China has intensified over the past few years, automakers were forced to continually develop new smart features capable of dazzling customers, a task that is well suited for DeepSeek’s models. “Its strong reception overseas has further boosted its popularity in China, serving as the firm’s best marketing campaign,” says Angela Huyue Zhang, a law professor who studies Chinese technology policy at the University of Southern California.
