China authorises DeepSeek + MiniMax to keep exporting AI after new export-control catalogue
Register (Mon 26 Oct UTC): Beijing mid-Oct revised Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited/Restricted from Export (23 LLM/agent/cluster items; open-source exempt). Fri state media: DeepSeek and MiniMax received authorization to continue exports — champions can still sell abroad under license regime.
Implication: a-rank China AI: export-license path keeps DeepSeek/MiniMax overseas distribution alive vs blanket ban optics — constructive for China OSS/API export narrative into Tue; idiosyncratic vs Seoul cash.

Mon 26 Oct 19:32 KST (after cash close): Green Plus locks a −10% 3P rights of 3.03m shares (~27% of current OS) to AriBio Holding + a PE fund (pay-in 9 Dec) and a ₩10.0bn CB convertible into ~2.70m shares (~19.84% OS) — stacked on the same-evening AriBio control SPA.

MIXED: control premium and a named strategic buyer can re-rate a thin ag-tech name, yet the concurrent discounted float expansion is a Vivian/Mirae-class supply shock that often dominates the open. 8%+: control flip + ~27% rights + ~20% CB stack clears shock band on a ~₩450bn name. p≈38%: unused overnight into Tue 09:00 auction on a quiet last print — two-way open gap, not a same-session clip.
