Meta's Manus Mess: Why China Blocked the Deal and What It Means

Meta's ambitions to acquire Manus, a cutting-edge haptic technology startup, have collided with Beijing's tightening grip on artificial intelligence exports, forcing the social media giant to abandon a deal that could have given it a decisive edge in the metaverse race. The blockade marks the first major casualty of an emerging technology cold war, as China weaponizes national security reviews to starve Western A.I. companies of critical capabilities while shielding its own tech sector from foreign acquisition. The question now is whether other deals will follow—and whether Meta's retreat signals a fundamental restructuring of how Silicon Valley builds the next generation of computing power.
