China released stricter rules for overseas deals involving Chinese investors, technology, data and national security, according to a Monday document by the State Council.
The rules, taking effect July 1, will require authorization of exports of goods, technologies, services, and related data, among other provisions.
China will also disallow cross-border training for personnel working in restricted services without government permission.
Beijing's new regulations provide a legal basis for cancelling completed overseas transactions, such as the Meta-Manus deal, Reuters reported separately.
The rules targeted moves such as those from Manus, which moved its top talent to Singapore before the purchase by Meta, the newswire said.
