	HN Discussion: •Questions scope and vague wording of the ban's technical implementation ↓Ban is regulatory capture disguised as security since open weights can be self-hosted ↓Open weights are more inspectable than closed US alternatives, undermining the security rationale ↓Chinese data access law is analogous to the US CLOUD Act, questioning the double standard ↓Singling out DeepSeek is arbitrary given many other Chinese open-weight models exist
