Ameri-Ban
The duel between Trump and China dates back to the start of his presidency.ย One of the ways that the Trump administration is โMaking America Great Againโ is through continuous effort to curb the USAโs exposure to Chinese companies as well as business dealings in general.
Trump jabbed back with yet another right hook after announcing on Thursday that he has signed an executive order barring Americans from investing in a group of Chinese companies that the White House believes support Beijingโs military.
This new order will restrict American companies and individuals from owning shares in companies the administration says help the advancement of the Peopleโs Liberation Army. This order doesnโt only include investment funds but American citizens with accounts of all sizes.
The large list of Chinese companies includes a bunch of big and state-run businesses in the field of aerospace and construction as well as technology and communications. The best-known player involved is Huawei, one of the main players in the race to the 5G data connection.
Is the American government going too far or is investing in these companiesโ a true threat to national security and investor risk concerns?
