- On Thursday, major Chinese AI developers DeepSeek and MiniMax secured state approval for global deployment of their AI models, according to a post by Yuyuan Tantian, an account affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV.

- The post contrasted Beijing's approach with Washington's targeted technology blockades, while overseas internet users urged other Chinese open-source large language model developers to complete similar registration procedures.
