ChinaEDGE
Complying with new U.S. laws on investment in China
Join us online on October 16 for a discussion with experts on the newest restrictions set on investment in China.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order prohibiting new U.S. investment in China in sensitive technologies such as computer chips, quantum information technologies, and certain AI systems. This comes on top of CFIUS laws of years past, the CHIPs act restricting U.S. persons from working for Chinese semiconductor firms, and the U.S. “entity list” barring U.S. companies from doing any form of business with certain Chinese companies.
How can international companies still do business with the world’s second-largest economy yet avoid working with restricted entities? And, are there even more rules and regulations in the pipeline?
