Spring 2018 CFIUS Briefing
2018 年春 CFIUS 简 报

Following a recently released report by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in connection with a “Section 301” investigation, President Trump has directed the U.S. Government to propose possible restrictions on Chinese investment in U.S. companies. At this time, the nature and scope of potential restrictions are unknown though there could be significant impacts on proposed or pending investments from Chinese acquirers, especially state-owned enterprises. These foreign investment restrictions may be accompanied by other executive action, such as tariff increases (25%) for certain products, as well as initiating a World Trade Organization (“WTO”) dispute to address China’s allegedly discriminatory licensing practices.
