[Expert Analysis: Manus Acquisition Blocked – Indicates China's Caution Toward Key and Sensitive Investments] Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Foreign Investment Security Review Office of the National Development and Reform Commission has prohibited the acquisition of the Manus project by foreign capital and demanded the transaction be revoked. Earlier this year, Manus, the world's first general artificial intelligence entity, announced plans to be acquired by U.S. tech giant Meta. This acquisition was blocked due to concerns over international environment, critical technologies, and data security, serving as a significant precedent. Experts noted that Manus initially developed in China with the support of Chinese engineers and infrastructure, later shifted to Singapore through capital operations, and attempted to sell to Meta, which drew regulatory attention. This move demonstrates that while China remains open to foreign investment, it exercises caution regarding key and sensitive investments, emphasizing compliance and regulation. (CCTV News)
