President
Joe Biden on Thursday expanded restrictions on American investments in certain
Chinese companies with alleged ties to the country’s military and surveillance
efforts.
Biden
barred U.S. investors from financial interests in 59 Chinese companies,
continuing some portions of the tough tack trump took
with Beijing.
Among the
59 companies barred are Aero Engine Corp. of China, Aerosun Corp., Fujian Torch
Electron Technology and Huawei Technologies.
The
prohibitions take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Aug. 2.
“This E.O.
allows the United States to prohibit – in a targeted and scoped manner – U.S.
investments in Chinese companies that undermine the security or democratic
values of the United States and our allies,” the White House said in a
press release.
The measure
bars U.S. dollars from supporting the “Chinese defense sector, while also
expanding the U.S. Government’s ability to address the threat of Chinese
surveillance technology firms that contribute — both inside and outside China —
to the surveillance of religious or ethnic minorities or otherwise facilitate
repression and serious human rights abuses,” the administration added.
Among the
59 companies barred are Aero Engine Corp. of China, Aerosun Corp., Fujian Torch
Electron Technology and Huawei Technologies.
The
prohibitions take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Aug. 2.
