China blocks Meta's acquisition of AI startup Manus

China blocked Meta’s $2 billion takeover of AI startup Manus. The post shows only the headline, timestamp, and authors; it does not disclose the regulator, review mechanism, or deal terms.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: China blocked Meta's $2B Manus deal, a hard AI M&A and geopolitics story. Detail is title-level only, with no regulator, terms, or timeline, so it stays in the 78–84 band.
