U.S. media reports said that the Bayeng government has been considering issuing an administrative order to limit the United States to invest in China's key high -tech industries.It is reported that the White House tends to narrow these areas of investment restrictions and make it more targeted.
According to the US media AXIOS on Thursday (January 12), the Bayeng government tends to allow administrative orders for the United States to invest in China to restrict the restrictions in China more targeted than previous suggestions.Although the draft administrative order has not yet been finalized, the focus will focus on quantum computing, artificial intelligence and semiconductor fields, excluding biotechnology or battery technology.
At present, US government officials hope to officially introduce it after fully soliciting the opinions of the allies, which means that the final administrative order may have to wait a few months.
Bloomberg reported in September last year that when the United States regards China as the largest security long -term challenge, the Bayeng government was brewing to launch an administrative order at the time to limit the key high -tech of the United States to China to ChinaIndustry, such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and semiconductor, invest in to prevent these high -tech from being used to improve China's military power.
At that time, the outside world expected that Biden would sign this provision in the form of administrative orders within a few months, but it was repeatedly postponed.
The US media SEMAFOR reported in December last year that one of the delayed reason is that the US Treasury Department hopes to have more time to negotiate with allies and partners.Paul Rosen, assistant Minister of Finance, who is responsible for the US Foreign Investment Commission and investment security affairs, met with executives in the financial industry and other industries in New York, Boston and other companies and financial centers at the time.Consumers' multinational companies and asset management companies that have invested in mainland China are concerned about setting up these investment restrictions.
U.S. officials said that these dialogues are part of the more extensive exterior work of the US government to collect the opinions of stakeholders, legislators and theme experts.
In mid -December last year, the White House national security adviser Sha Liwen held a meeting with several cabinet ministers to discuss how to improve the draft administrative order.
U.S. officials believe that, given that US Secretary of State Brin is sure to visit China in February this year, the Bayeng government will not introduce this administrative order before visiting China, but also emphasized that Brinken's trip to ChinaIt has nothing to do with this administrative order.
But the report said that the introduction of administrative orders in the proposal will undoubtedly have a impact on Sino -US relations.
