Anthropic Claude Code \'backdoor\' row raises hopes for Chinese AI coding tools
China has issued a security warning on Anthropic\'s AI coding tool Claude Code, raising the likelihood that Chinese developers will move faster to domestic alternatives. The National Vulnerability Database said some versions contain a security \"backdoor\" and could transmit location and identity data without user consent. Anthropic said access from China had long been prohibited under its policy. Local observers expect demand to rise for tools from ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent Cloud and ZhipuAI.
