The author adds the source: a Reuters report (Oct 16) saying China proposed export controls on 23 AI technologies, covering models, agents and computing clusters, with API/web/app/SaaS access excluded. This could let DeepSeek and Alibaba keep expanding abroad while Beijing tightens oversight of sensitive AI transfers. Reuters reported in July that authorities discussed restricting overseas access to China's most advanced models with Alibaba, ByteDance and Z.AI.
