Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Communist Chinese Military Companies

What it means

This order prohibits U.S. individuals and companies from investing in Chinese companies with military ties. It creates a framework to identify such companies and gives investors time to divest from these securities, with specific deadlines beginning January 11, 2021.

Expected impact

Reduced American investment in Chinese companies linked to China's military, potentially limiting their access to U.S. capital
Financial pressure on Chinese military-industrial complex as part of broader U.S.-China economic tensions
Compliance challenges for U.S. investors and financial institutions as they identify prohibited securities
Potential market volatility for affected securities as investors divest within the specified timeframes
Possible retaliatory measures from China against U.S. companies or investors
