Is some context missing? I'm trying to be dense, I'm just not sure how Deepseek broke American laws. I get that a license is required for countries to purchase these from the vendor. What is stopping a third party from collecting hardware through intermediaries and reselling them to a Chinese company outside of US borders?
You're not allowed to buy/resell the hardware to China as an intermediary.
I get the prevailing idea, and I can understand the reasoning behind it. My question really was trying to ferret out whether it was US laws that were violated, Singaporean laws, the initial trade agreement, or something else.
The seller and buyer both violated US export controls, which is against US law.
Why does China care about US law though?
The intermediaries care. This is very obvious.
They don't, but that wasn't your question.
