description: "I've always had a question about the Manus deal. Since the transaction has been factually completed, with over 100 employees already relocated to Meta's Singapore office and the code already integrated into Meta's systems.Now, if the deal is reversed, it would essentially mean giving the team and the code to Meta for free, while the Manus founding team and shareholders have to return what they received. Will any overseas institutions still invest in domestic tech companies after this? The previous investors would have no way to exit.From AI to new energy, companies can go overseas to capture markets, but technology outflow is not acceptable.$Meta Platforms(META.US)"
