On January 2, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) regulation restricting U.S. outbound investments in certain advanced technology sectors in China (the Final Rule) takes effect. Thereafter, investments by U.S. persons in "countries of concern" (the People's Republic of China and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau) involving certain advanced semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum computing and information technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) will either be prohibited or will require notification to Treasury within 30 days of completion. According to the White House, the Final Rule is designed to "keep America safe by preventing countries of concern—namely the People's Republic of China—from advancing in key technologies that are critical to their military modernization."
