Manus, an artificial intelligence firm, will return to independent operations following China's regulatory intervention that blocked its acquisition by Meta. Last December, Meta announced plans to purchase Manus for $2 billion as part of its AI strategy.

The Chinese government's ban has forced Manus to cancel the deal, marking a significant shift for the company as it resumes its separate activities and operations. According to reports, this decision has been driven by regulatory concerns within China.
