中國提議對先進 AI 模型及晶片設計實施出口管制
China proposes export controls on its advanced AI models and chip designs
中國商務部和科技部提議將 23 項 AI 技術納入出口管制清單，涵蓋大型模型、智能體、晶片設計及計算集羣，整份草案共列 40 項。大型模型管制擬涵蓋權重、源代碼等核心部分，適用於參數量至少 2 trillion 或在性能、安全等測試中排名全球前 10 的模型；開源代碼和已發表研究可獲豁免。
草案同時界定大型模型與晶片設計的管制條件，並列出開源技術豁免及海外用戶透過應用程式、網站和 API 使用模型的安排，呈現提案的管制邊界與例外。
China’s commerce and science ministries proposed adding 23 AI technologies, including large models, agents, chip designs, and computing clusters, to the country’s export control list. Open-source tech is exempt and overseas users can still access models through apps. A temporary export registration rule took effect on 16 October.
China plans to limit exports of 23 AI technologies, from large language models and AI agents to chip designs. Its commerce and science ministries put out the draft proposal on Friday.
The plan covers 40 items in total. Besides AI, it lists 12 solar items and five in biomedicine, such as gene therapy. The public can comment until 15 November.
For large models, the curbs would cover weights, source code, and other core parts. They would apply to models with at least 2 trillion parameters, or that rank in the world’s top 10 on tests such as performance and safety, Bloomberg reported.
Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 and Alibaba’s Qwen3.8-Max are among the models above that size, according to Bloomberg and the Associated Press. The draft itself does not name any model.
The draft would also limit design know-how for AI chips made at 14 nanometres or below, or built by stacking chips in 2.5D or 3D. Some memory chip designs are on the list too.
However, open-source code and published research would be exempt. Chinese firms could also keep serving users abroad through apps, websites, and APIs, the ministry said.
Running a covered model on servers abroad would count as an export. Still, firms that run it on their own cloud servers abroad could get a licence automatically.
The rules aim to “prevent misuse and abuse” and “ensure that AI remains under human control,” a ministry spokesperson said in a statement.
The ministry added that the plan does not target any country or firm. Meanwhile, firms must now register before they export any of the listed items, under a temporary rule that took effect on Friday. It also covers deals that are not yet complete.
Earlier this year, Beijing was reported to be weighing limits on overseas access to its top models. In July, the Financial Times reported that it was considering export controls on AI models and chips.
