BEIJING: China has blocked Meta’s acquisition of artificial intelligence (AI) startup Manus, the top economic planning body said today, after a regulatory review that reportedly also saw Beijing restrict two co-founders from leaving the country.
Facebook owner Meta had agreed to acquire Manus, an AI agent created by a company founded in China but now based in Singapore, the two firms said in December.

Analysts however, had warned that the deal could fall foul of regulators at a time of fierce technological rivalry between Washington and Beijing.
