DeepSeek and MiniMax complete registration for open-source and overseas authorized use
According to Yuyuantantian, on October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology solicited public comments on the revision of the Catalog of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China, which involves 23 AI-related technologies including large models, agents, computing clusters, and information processing. Since the policy was announced, the two leading companies DeepSeek and MiniMax have completed registration procedures and finished open-source and overseas authorized use. In its Q&A, the Ministry of Commerce gave more and more specific explanations of "what is not regulated" than of "what is regulated." The report holds that the core of the Catalog is to delineate boundaries rather than simply restrict the export of AI technology.

According to Yuyuan Tantian, on October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology publicly solicited opinions on the revision of the Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export from China (hereinafter referred to as the Catalogue). Among them are 23 artificial intelligence technologies, including large models, intelligent agents, computing power clusters, and information processing. After the Catalogue was released, some people raised questions: China emphasizes technological openness, so why suddenly impose "export restrictions" on AI? Is this a signal of a policy shift? It is reported that since the policy was announced, two leading companies, DeepSeek and MiniMax, have smoothly completed registration procedures and completed open-source and overseas authorized use. In the relevant Q&A, the Ministry of Commerce's explanation of "what is not regulated" is clearly more extensive and more specific than its explanation of "what is regulated." This also shows that the core of the Catalogue is to delineate boundaries, rather than simply restricting the external export of AI technology.
