Trump Orders New Restrictions on Chinese Investments in Key US Sectors

The directive targets technology, infrastructure, and other strategic areas, citing national security concerns, as China vows to respond.

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing tighter restrictions on Chinese investments in critical US sectors, including technology, healthcare, agriculture, and energy.
The order emphasizes national security concerns, stating that China exploits US capital and innovation to enhance its military and intelligence capabilities.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) will play a central role in reviewing and blocking investments deemed risky to US security.
China's Ministry of Commerce condemned the move as discriminatory and warned of potential retaliatory measures to protect its interests.
This policy follows escalating tensions between the US and China, including recent tariffs and accusations of Chinese cyberattacks on US entities.
