U.S. Regulation Limits Chinese Investment and Opportunities in the United States

Jul 26, 2024

Washington CORE Summer Research Intern, Adeel Raza from Marquette University, recently compiled a report on the status of Chinese Investment in the United States. It discussed investment trends and predictions, the role of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and recent measures to restrict Chinese investment in real estate, data related services, and infrastructure projects which are seen as critical to U.S. national security.

As a result of a series of measures against Chinese suppliers in high technology sectors such semiconductors and advanced radio equipment, the overall investment from China to the U.S. has fallen sharply since 2016. Specifically, investment opportunities have been restricted due to the Inflation Reduction Act (2022), the CHIPS and Science Act (2023) and the expansion of CFIUS’ authority. In addition to restricting investment in cutting-edge technology, the U.S. has curtailed Chinese investment in the U.S. infrastructure and transportation sector to include Rail, Buses, Airports, Roads, Ports, and Electric Vehicles, creating new opportunities for U.S. and non-Chinese foreign businesses.
