On June 3, President Biden issued Executive Order 14032 on “Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China,” modifying a prior Trump Administration Executive Order, and establishing new criteria for designating companies linked to China’s defense and surveillance technology sectors as subject to investment restrictions. Webinar attendees will learn about the substance of the new Executive Order, including the scope of the investment restrictions, the mechanics for designating Chinese entities as “Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies” that are subject to restrictions, and the differences from the prior Trump Administration Order. Attendees also will receive guidance about the implications for U.S. persons and entities investing in China and elsewhere, including best practices to ensure compliance with the Executive Order going forward. The Webinar will also describe how the Executive Order fits into the broader context of the Biden Administration’s approach to U.S.-China relations and to economic sanctions.
