China Restricts Manus Founders During Meta Review
6.7
China has barred Manus co-founders Xiao Hong and Ji Yichao from leaving the country while regulators review Meta's proposed acquisition, the Financial Times reported. The executives were summoned this month to the National Development and Reform Commission and told they may not travel abroad amid an examination of whether the roughly $2–3 billion deal violates investment rules. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

- 2China examines Meta's roughly $2–3 billion Manus takeover for potential investment-rule violations
- 3This could delay integration and raise compliance costs for Meta and Manus' operations
