- China's new regulations on outbound investment, effective July 1, grant regulators broader powers to scrutinize overseas deals involving Chinese investors, technology, data, and national security. This move, prompted by the Meta-Manus situation, could restrict Chinese capital flows and technology acquisitions abroad, potentially impacting global M&A activity and the tech sector. The focus on data security and restricted technologies may create headwinds for cross-border tech deals.
BEIJING, June 1 (Reuters) - China issued sweeping new rules on Monday, widening regulators’ powers to scrutinise overseas deals involving Chinese investors, technology, data and national security, a month after Beijing ordered the unwinding of Meta’s acquisition of AI startup Manus.
The rules, published by the State Council, or cabinet, will take effect from July 1. One of the most significant requires authorisation for exports of restricted Chinese goods, technologies, services or related data.
The rules also bar indirect transfers through cross-border deployment of technical staff and guidance, training programmes or other arrangements.
