On April 27, 2026, the Chinese government announced an important decision: it would ban the U.S. tech giant Meta from acquiring the artificial intelligence company Manus.

The deal was worth more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. It would have been one of the largest acquisitions in Meta's history, but now it has been forced to stop.

Manus is a very successful AI startup that mainly researches “AI agent” technology.

Although Manus recently moved its headquarters to Singapore to make the deal easier, its core technology and team originally came from Beijing, China.

China's National Development and Reform Commission said that after a security review, the acquisition crossed the national security “red line.”

According to relevant laws, the export of core technologies such as AI algorithms must be approved by the government.

Experts say that Manus's core technology was developed in China, and selling it to a foreign company without permission would violate technology export rules.

In addition, Manus used a large amount of data when training its AI, and the security of this data is also a major concern for the government.

Now Meta and Manus must cancel the acquisition plan.

This decision sends a clear signal to the entire AI industry: although companies can develop overseas, the source of their technology has a nationality.

In the future, China's management of AI and other advanced technologies may become even stricter.
