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.

Tue 27 Oct 14:04 KST (cash session): HJ Heavy signs Seoul Beondong 3-1 street-housing rebuild for ₩144.0bn — ~7.2% of 2025 sales / ~12.9% of a ~₩1.12tn mcap — zero advance, progress-bill, 40 months from start, 393 units in Gangbuk-gu (Sep 21 investment-judgment companion). UP: signed construction award into a real co-op CP is backlog, not a rumor. 1-3%: size by near-term cash, not face/mcap — zero down payment + multi-year drip is the IPARK/Samsung E&A construction haircut (refuse 3-8%/8%+ off the 13% mcap headline). p≈10%: live already +3.3% / high +6.0% cleared the top of 1-3% — leftover is fade/hold into the close (don’t-chase).
