According to PANews, on April 29, China’s National Development and Reform Commission investment security review office banned a foreign acquisition of the Manus project and required the transaction be terminated. Manus, billed as the world’s first general artificial intelligence agent, had announced plans to be acquired by U.S. tech giant Meta. The deal was blocked due to concerns involving international environment, critical technology, and data security. The decision signals that China remains open to foreign investment but maintains caution toward acquisitions involving sensitive sectors, emphasizing compliance with regulatory standards.
