According to Reuters, China's State Council issued sweeping new rules on Monday that widen regulators' powers to scrutinize overseas deals involving Chinese investors, technology, data and national security, a month after Beijing ordered the unwinding of Meta's acquisition of AI startup Manus. The rules, effective from July 1, require authorization for exports of restricted Chinese goods, technologies, services or related data, and bar indirect transfers through cross-border deployment of technical staff, guidance, training programs or other arrangements.
