Reddit user claims China curbs exports of advanced LLMs and agents above capability thresholds

A Reddit user claims China has effectively closed the door on exporting advanced LLMs and agents: models above a certain capability and agents that modify too much of their context/code at runtime would require government approval. The poster compares it to rare-earth export controls and speculates about a bifurcated AI world. Unverified personal claim, no official document cited.
