China’s export-control proposal would place overseas transfers and local deployment of restricted large-model technology under export rules while leaving API and software-service access outside that scope, a distinction that could shape how AI firms serve users abroad. The Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology proposed adding 40 technologies to China’s export-control catalogue Friday, Oct. 16. The additions cover 23 technologies in artificial intelligence (AI), five in biomedicine and 12 in photovoltaics. The proposal would prohibit exports of 14 technologies and restrict 26. The AI entries include large models, intelligent agents, computing clusters and information-processing technologies.
