Isn’t OpenAI blocking China?

Chinese developers scramble as OpenAI blocks access in China

In other words how could Deepseek, a Chinese company, have entered terms of service with OpenAI?

IME OpenAI doesn't block Hong Kong for one, while Anthropic does.

As an aside, this made Cloudflare's AI Gateway an unusable product, as they hilariously put a node in HK so you never know when your Anthropic request is randomly going to fail defeating the whole purpose behind the product.

The article says linked. It could be someone's grandma living outside of China, or it could be a company outside of China with links to DeepSeek.
