BREAKING: China blocks Meta's $2B AI acquisition — deal already done
Beijing ordered Meta to unwind its purchase of AI startup Manus. The founders were barred from leaving China during the probe. National security cited.
Meta integrated the team. Deal was closed. Now it's being forced open.
First time China has vetoed a completed cross-border tech deal. Big signal for AI, tech decoupling, and every US firm with Chinese talent.
