The decision comes as tensions between the United States and China continue to rise, with Washington increasing scrutiny of American companies operating in China.
Wang Minjie, a scientist working at the Shanghai facility, stated that his team was "being dissolved due to strategic adjustments amid US-China tensions," according to a post on WeChat cited by the Financial Times.
The closure of the AI lab appears to be part of broader adjustments by American technology companies in response to the changing geopolitical landscape between the world’s two largest economies.
