ChinaTalk breaks down how MOFCOM Notice 48 would affect AI tech exports and open-source releases

ChinaTalk 解读商务部 48 号公告对 AI 技术出口管制草案的影响

ChinaTalk analyzes a draft from MOFCOM and the Ministry of Science and Technology that would expand China's technology export control list, focusing on large models, chip design and AI agents. Notice 48 adds 40 technologies, with 14 slated for an export ban and 26 for export restrictions, plus pre-export registration before the revised list takes effect.

Why it matters: It separates technology exports from overseas services in the draft: open-source releases would go through licensing, while API services to overseas customers would not.
