The U.S. Department of the Treasury has set the stage for regulation of certain U.S. outbound investment in China and China-linked companies and has presented draft regulations on this topic for the first time. In their new alert, my colleagues Anthony Rapa, Brendan Saslow, Patrick Collins, and Rachel D. Evans look at the key elements of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the covered technologies, and how it would be enforced. #outboundinvestment #China #internationaltrade

"The interplay of Chinese and United States investments has been one of particular interest and subject to significant legal changes in the last few years. Normally, reviews of inbound investments of Chinese capital into the United States are handled by CFIUS. Numerous client alerts have addressed the background on the CFIUS process and subsequent developments. However, now for the first time, this administration seeks to implement a “reverse CFIUS” outbound review mechanism for certain U.S. investments in China."

"Reverse CFIUS" is not the right way to think about the proposed rule, as it is much more narrowly focused than those that implement the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. However, calling it "the Outbound Investment Security Program" fails to illustrate how many transactions will need to account for these new rules... We lay out the basics of the next national security regulatory regime in this primer (maybe we'll tackle nomenclature in the next edition):

The draft regulations would (1) require U.S. persons to notify Treasury regarding certain transactions, and (2) prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in certain transactions involving persons of a country of concern who are engaged in activities involving particular national security technologies and products.
