Anthropic Closes China AI Access Loopholes After Firms Used Overseas Workarounds

Anthropic plans to tighten controls after Chinese companies accessed its AI tools through cloud providers and overseas subsidiaries, according to the Financial Times.
Those routes did not violate US or Chinese law, but they breached Anthropic's terms of service, which bar Chinese companies and foreign entities from using its models.
The move targets indirect access rather than a formal legal ban, highlighting how AI providers are trying to enforce their own restrictions across cross-border cloud and corporate structures.
