Meta Platforms (META.US) is preparing to scrap its acquisition of AI startup Manus after the Chinese government blocked the deal on national security grounds, The Wall Street Journal quoted insiders as saying.

The move reflects China's intensifying scrutiny of US investment in domestic startups developing frontier technologies. The transaction size exceeds US$2 billion.
