Zuckerberg opposes US ban on Chinese AI, argues competition beats decoupling

Mark Zuckerberg says US should not ban Chinese AI

Meta's Zuckerberg told the FT the US shouldn't ban Chinese AI models. He named DeepSeek and ByteDance as fast-moving competitors but said Meta's Llama family still leads open-source. His core argument: if US firms are locked out of China, Chinese firms will capture the rest of the world. The post doesn't spell out specific policy proposals or timelines.

Why it matters: Zuckerberg's exclusive FT comment is newsworthy and naming DeepSeek / ByteDance makes it concrete. But the piece is pure stance with no policy detail or timeline, so it caps at 78.
