China restricts investments in the U.S. — Beijing’s response to tariff pressure
Suspension of project approvals seen as leverage in negotiations with the Trump administration.
China has imposed new restrictions on domestic companies seeking to invest in the U.S. economy. According to Bloomberg, the measures target the registration and approval process for outbound investment projects, which are now being suspended by the National Development and Reform Commission.
The decision comes amid escalating trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. In recent weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled the possibility of new tariffs and tough measures against Chinese imports, prompting a swift response from Beijing.
The halt on new investment approvals is viewed as a temporary measure to strengthen China’s position in case of a deepening trade dispute.
Experts warn that the decision could impact a wide range of sectors — from technology and manufacturing to real estate and finance. Chinese companies already operating in the U.S. may face legal and operational hurdles as a result.
The move could further dampen an already declining investment flow between the two countries. In 2024, direct Chinese investment in the U.S. fell to one of its lowest levels in the past decade.
Beijing is signaling its readiness to use economic tools to counter external pressure and maintains flexibility to adjust its policies in response to Washington’s actions.
