As AI agent tool OpenClaw sweeps through China’s tech industry, related security risks are beginning to attract official attention. Foreign reports citing insiders indicate that state-owned enterprises and government agencies have been instructed to restrict the use of OpenClaw within office network environments.

The reports state that large banks, state-owned enterprises, and government agencies have been notified that, due to security concerns, OpenClaw deployment on office computers and environments should be limited. Any installed applications must be immediately disabled, and arrangements should be made to delete or report for security review.

Additionally, major state-owned banks and some government departments have completely banned employees from installing this tool on office computers and personal phones connected to the company network, with military family members also subject to related restrictions. However, some organizations still allow installation of OpenClaw after prior approval and reporting.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding these reports.

The security risks brought by the OpenClaw craze have already attracted the attention of regulators. On Tuesday (the 10th), the National Internet Emergency Center issued a risk alert regarding the safe use of OpenClaw, reflecting the government’s efforts to control the risks accompanying AI development while encouraging its progress.
