China said on Wednesday that US accusations of Chinese labs stealing the capabilities of American models were “groundless,” as the two countries race for tech supremacy.
The US cyber defence agency released an advisory on Tuesday accusing top Chinese AI labs, including DeepSeek and Moonshot AI, of systematically stealing the capabilities “through industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns.”
It came ahead of an expected meeting this month between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, at the White House, where Artificial Intelligence could be an important topic of discussion.
China hit back on Wednesday, calling the accusations “groundless.”
