The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) imposed the restriction after discovering the app was transferring South Korean user data to\u00a0ByteDance, the Chinese company behind TikTok, the regulator said on Saturday. Korea&#8217;s data watchdog has\u00a0<em>\u201cstrongly advised\u201d<\/em>\u00a0them to\u00a0<em>\u201cuse the service with caution<em>\u201c<\/em><\/em>\u00a0until the final results of the probe are announced. The Chinese government has always required Chinese companies to conduct overseas operations in strict compliance with local laws and regulations, Guo Jiakun, a spokesman for China\u2019s foreign ministry, said at a briefing on Monday. \u201cWe also hope that relevant countries will avoid taking the approach of generalizing and politicizing economic, trade and technological issues,\u201d Mr. Guo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is important because it shows how South Korea is treating China differently than it would any other country for the same data security practices. This shows how South Korea is taking a similar route the United States took by politicizing economic, trade, and technological issues. This also shows how poor South Korea&#8217;s relations are with China that they do not trust them whatsoever and are treating them as a hostile nation by guarding their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This relates to what we learned in class because it shows how bandwagon states such as South Korea to the United States simply go along with whatever policies the dominant state chooses. It also relates to how Korea has had a history of appeasing the more powerful nations around it in order to survive, like how it did that with China in its early history, with Japan in the 1940s, and now with the United States today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link: https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/612832-south-korea-bans-deepseek\/ On February 17th, 2025, South Korea&#8217;s national data protection watchdog announced a temporary suspension of China&#8217;s free AI service, Deepseek, until authorities complete their review of the Chinese startup\u2019s data collection practices and implement\u00a0improvements and remedies.
