If you deploy Chinese models containing restricted technology overseas, China is proposing export controls on 23 AI technologies. The proposal covers large-model training methods, agent systems, and computing-power clusters.

Here's what changed:
- The Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology opened public consultation on October 16.
- The proposed requirements apply to overseas deployments of AI models containing restricted technology.
- DeepSeek and MiniMax completed overseas-export registration and compliance procedures for open-source releases and overseas model licensing, according to a CCTV-affiliated media analysis published on October 22.
- A securities analyst described the registrations as clarifying the overseas route for general-purpose open-source models while sensitive core technologies face strict controls.

One catch: the export-control revisions are a proposal, not a finalized rule.
