> You can use Claude Code to write code to make a competitor for Claude Code.

No, the ToS literally says you cannot.

What's worse is that Anthropic also goes after customers who bought their services through intermediaries, even if the service was API (not subscription).

If you use Claude models through CURSOR, Anthropic still applies its own policies on usage. Just recently they cut off xAI employees' access to Claude models on Cursor [0]. X has threatened to ban Anthropic from X.

Does it mean it will be outright banned in China? Otherwise I see DeepCode coming...

		It already is. https://www.anthropic.com/news/updating-restrictions-of-sale... And Anthropic really goes out their way in banning China. Other model providers do a decent job at restricting access in general but look away when someone tries to circumvent those restrictions. But Claude uses extra mechanisms to make it hard. And the CEO was on record about China issues: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/01/nvidia-and-anthropic-clash-o...
