[AI Unicorn Manus Founder Restricted from Leaving the Country] According to a report by the Financial Times on March 25, Manus CEO Xiao Hong and Chief Scientist Ji Yichao were summoned to Beijing for a meeting earlier this month. After the meeting, they were informed that, due to regulatory review requirements, they are not allowed to leave China but can still move freely within the country. Previously, officials from China's National Development and Reform Commission had convened executives from Meta and Manus to express concerns regarding the deal announced last December. No formal investigation has been initiated, nor have any charges been filed. Manus is actively seeking assistance from law firms and consulting companies to resolve the matter.
