Several days ago, many were concerned that China’s updated export control list might abruptly halt the overseas expansion of domestic AI models. But DeepSeek and MiniMax have just removed that obstacle. Just before, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology proposed including large models and intelligent agents in the restricted export list, sparking widespread pessimism and fears that open-source AI would collapse. However, official updates now reveal that both leading companies have completed their registration procedures, and overseas licensing and open-source initiatives are proceeding normally. In its Q&A, the regulatory body devoted significant attention to clarifying what is explicitly not restricted—making it clear that establishing rules and boundaries is acceptable, but a complete shutdown is not the intent. Teams expanding overseas most fear policy uncertainty. Now, with clear compliance pathways established for leading large models, companies no longer need to live in constant fear that their code might be blocked or their overseas APIs suddenly cut off.
