[Insider: China is reviewing whether Meta's $2 billion acquisition of Manus violates regulations] BlockBeats reported on January 7, citing insiders from the *Financial Times*, that Chinese officials are reviewing Meta's $2 billion acquisition of the artificial intelligence platform Manus to assess potential export control violations. They are determining whether transferring Manus' employees and technology to Singapore requires an export license from China. Although the review is still in its early stages and may not necessarily lead to a formal investigation, the requirement for a license could allow authorities to exert influence over the transaction.
