China has halted Meta Platforms Inc.'s $2 billion acquisition of Manus, a move that reflects the country's strict foreign investment rules. The decision underscores the growing scrutiny over international investments in key sectors. Officials cited concerns related to national security and economic sovereignty as reasons for the halt. This setback marks a significant blow to Meta's expansion plans in Asia. The tech giant has faced increasing regulatory challenges globally, and this latest development further complicates its investment strategy.
