HONG KONG—China will assess and investigate Meta’s acquisition of artificial intelligence startup Manus, according to the communist regime’s commerce ministry.

Meta announced last week it was buying Manus, which is Singapore-based with Chinese roots, as the California tech giant behind Facebook and Instagram expands its AI offerings across its platforms.
