China has reportedly ordered Meta to reverse its acquisition of the artificial intelligence startup Manus. This decision marks a significant intervention by Beijing into a major technology deal involving a U.S. company.
The move is seen by some as part of China's broader effort to curb U.S. investment in its technology sector. Analysts suggest the blocked deal highlights ongoing tensions in the U.S.-China economic relationship.
The specific reasons for China's reversal order have not been fully detailed. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
