Chinese AI developers DeepSeek and MiniMax complete export registration and proceed with open-source releases and overseas licensing after new draft export rules.

China's Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology released a draft proposal tightening oversight of AI technology transfers, with some provisions taking immediate effect requiring official registration. State media reported that DeepSeek and MiniMax completed export registration procedures and continued open-source releases and overseas licensing. CCTV said the measures aim to set clearer regulatory boundaries rather than block Chinese AI tech exports.
