Abstract

On 13 August 2018, the president of the United States signed a bill to strengthen the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency executive body responsible for screening foreign investments made in the United States for national security risks. The move is primarily aimed at preventing Chinese firms from exploiting the US open capital markets to acquire technology. While much commentary exists spelling out the changes made to CFIUS by way of the legislation, their focus is largely on the legal and business ramifications of the policy at the firm level. This analysis assesses what CFIUS strengthening portends for the tech ambitions, examines the Chinese state’s response to the move, and observes its relevance to US–China economic decoupling.

CFIUS 2.0:美国针对中国的经济策略工具

2018年8月13日，美国总统签署了一项法案，以加强美国外国投资委员会(CFIUS)，该委员会是一个跨部门执行机构，负责审查在美国的外国投资是否存在国家安全风险。此举主要是为了防止中国企业利用美国开放的资本市场获取技术。尽管有很多评论阐述了这项立法给CFIUS带来的变化，但它们的重点主要集中在该政策对公司层面的法律和商业影响上。本分析评估了CFIUS加强对科技雄心的预示，考察了中国政府对此举的反应，并观察了其与美中经济脱钩的相关性。
