China just blocked Meta’s $2B acquisition of Manus, and told top AI labs Moonshot and Stepfun to reject all US investment. This is the end of global AI collaboration. For the last 5 years, US and Chinese AI labs shared research, talent, and even funding. That’s over now. Beijing wants full control over its homegrown AI sector, no Western strings attached. What does this mean for the rest of us? US AI tools will be blocked in China, Chinese tools will be blocked in the US. No more open-source collaboration between the two. The AI cold war is official. The only people surprised by this are Western tech executives who thought China would keep playing by our rules. They won’t. Agree or disagree: this decoupling will slow down AI progress globally by 5+ years? submitted by /u/pretendingMadhav
