WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum aimed at protecting U.S. technology, capital, and knowledge from China and other foreign adversaries.

The document strengthens the powers of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which oversees national security deals. Chinese investment will now be limited in technology, critical infrastructure, health care, agriculture, energy, and natural resources.

Key Measures:

• Banning “green” investments (buying land, building from scratch) near sensitive U.S. facilities.
• Restricting China’s access to U.S. talent and technology, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biotechnology.
• Restricting the outflow of U.S. capital to China by preventing funding for China’s Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy.
• Auditing Chinese companies on U.S. stock exchanges to protect U.S. pension funds.

At the same time, the United States will create a fast procedure for investments from allied countries, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.
