The proposed Treasury Department rules would prohibit certain U.S. investments in Chinese companies developing semiconductors, quantum computers, and artificial intelligence systems, aiming to prevent the advancement of technologies that could be used for military purposes.
These regulations are designed to restrict American financing that might assist China in developing technology for weapons tracking, government intelligence, and surveillance, thus safeguarding national security interests from potential threats.
Investors will be required to notify the Treasury Department about specific transactions, with certain types of investments explicitly prohibited. Violations could lead to enforced divestment and potential criminal prosecution by the Justice Department.
