🛡 Alibaba Bans Employees from Using Claude Code

Chinese giant Alibaba has restricted the use of Anthropic's Claude Code. The reason cited is concerns that the tool contains hidden code to track users from China and employees of Chinese AI laboratories. As of July 10, Claude Code has been included in a list of high-risk programs.

🌍 The incident intensifies distrust between Western AI developers and Chinese companies, leading to the fragmentation of development tools and a digital divide.

👤 Developers should consider the risks of using foreign AI agents in corporate environments, especially under strict security policies.
