$2B (blocked)

Acquisition announced December 2025; blocked by China's NDRC on 27 April 2026 on national-security grounds — the first foreign acquisition vetoed in the AI sector, citing three red lines: technology sovereignty, data sovereignty, and national security. Singapore's "AI offshore transit hub" strategy was, for the first time, explicitly red-lined by a source-country regulator.
