Background & analysis
On October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology opened a public comment period on a revised catalogue of technologies whose export is banned or restricted from China. The draft covers 23 AI-related technologies, including large models, agents, computing clusters and information processing. According to the report, the proposal prompted questions about why China, which has stressed technological openness, would move to place export limits on AI, and whether this signals a policy shift.
Yuyuantan Tian reported that since the policy was announced, two leading companies, DeepSeek and MiniMax, have completed registration procedures and finished open-sourcing and overseas licensing of their technology. The report also noted that in the ministry's accompanying Q&A, the explanation of what is not covered was noticeably longer and more specific than the explanation of what is covered. On that basis, the report characterized the catalogue as primarily drawing boundaries rather than simply restricting AI technology exports.
That is where public information currently stands: the catalogue remains in the public comment stage, and the two companies have completed registration along with open-source and overseas licensing. The report did not disclose when the registration took place, how the process worked, or who the licensing partners are.
