President Joe Biden’s recent executive order to restrict certain outbound investments to China offers an opportunity for companies to help shape the program.
The goal of the Aug. 9 order is to stem the flow of U.S. dollars into countries of concern, whose military or surveillance efforts might benefit from the funds, while not impeding the overall atmosphere of open investment in the United States. An annex to the order lists China, including the regions of Hong Kong and Macau, as the only country of concern.
