China plans to restrict exports of AI models that
- trained on “important data"
- contain at least 2 trillion parameters (Kimi K3 is 2.8T, Qwen3.8-Max is 2.4T)
Models already released won’t be affected. Beijing said it’ll continue to back “open-source” AI models including by facilitating their licensing

China’s AI firms are rapidly expanding their reach with low-cost models. What does that mean for the US-China race for AI supremacy? bit.ly/4Alk05t
Now, monetizing isn’t the only way to “win in AI.” Diffusion can help China grow its economy, and cheap intelligence makes its AI robots and Huawei chips more attractive.
But open models are not exclusive to any country — the rise of DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi also creates demand for Nvidia chips, SK Hynix memory and other equipment needed to run these models in data centers globally.
And they helped Apple sell an almost $4,000 machine to me

Bloomberg: "The scale of the problem is staggering. Trade data released Thursday showed a record $112 billion gap between what China reported exporting to the US and what US Customs said actually arrived last year."

It was a privilege to be a Post correspondent, roaming the world the last 7+ years for a paper I very much believed in. I'm gone along with the rest of the ME team and majority of teammates from Delhi to Beijing to Kyiv & Latam. Sad day, but it was a lot of fun and we raised hell
