Anthropic Strengthens Regional Restrictions to Block China-Controlled Entities
Anthropic is updating its Terms of Service to prohibit access by companies whose ownership structures subject them to control from restricted jurisdictions, including China, regardless of where those companies are incorporated or operate. The new rule targets entities more than 50% owned directly or indirectly by companies headquartered in unsupported regions, closing a loophole where Chinese-controlled firms accessed Anthropic services through foreign subsidiaries. Anthropic cites national security risks including potential data sharing with intelligence services, model distillation for adversarial AI development, and support for authoritarian military objectives. The announcement also reaffirms Anthropic's advocacy for export controls, domestic AI infrastructure buildout, and national-security-focused model evaluations.
