Chinese billionaire overhauls AI startup after warning on Manus
The fallout from Meta Platforms Inc.’s controversial acquisition of Manus is prompting one tech founder to erect strict walls between his Chinese and US businesses, calling it a regrettable but necessary template for navigating geopolitical tensions.
MiroMind — founded by Chen Tianqiao, a pioneer of China’s online gaming industry — has implemented protocols to prohibit the cross-border sharing of information or code while minimizing the movement of personnel, data and assets. The decision followed queries from regulators after Meta’s $2 billion Manus buyout, the billionaire told Bloomberg News.
