[QUOTE="Coralin96, post: 1437, member: 15"] [CENTER][B]US national security regulations[/B] [/CENTER] [B]The story [/B] China has increasingly invested in sensitive US companies over the last decade, from self-driving cars to robotics and AI. These investments have sparked national security concerns, which has led to new US legislation to combat foreign investment in US companies. Soon, the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernisation Act or FIRRMA will be enacted into law in the US. FIRRMA will give America’s national security regulator, the Committee on Foreign Investment or CFIUS, new powers to review and block foreign transactions on national security grounds. These include a broad range of areas from investments in critical infrastructure to companies that supply sensitive personal data to real estate transactions. [B]Impact on businesses and law firms[/B] US companies and foreign investors will need to do an assessment of FIRRMA to consider whether it will affect new investments. They may have to alter their foreign investments to ensure their investments are not blocked. And Chinese companies, in particular, may need to prepare for restrictions on their US investments. Lawyers who understand CFIUS and the relevant regulation will be needed to advice companies on compliance. They may need to provide legal opinions to advise companies on whether a particular deal is likely to trigger a CFIUS review. [/QUOTE]
