S 3945 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to restrict the Chinese Government from accessing United States capital markets and exchanges if it fails to comply with international laws relating to finance, trade, and commerce.

This bill restricts the Chinese government and its state-controlled commercial entities from making new investments in U.S. capital markets, exchanges, or financial transactions if the U.S. Treasury determines they violate specific international financial laws. It targets compliance with rules covering sovereign debt handling, market transparency, and prohibitions against discriminatory payment practices. The Treasury Secretary, with input from the foreign investment committee, would block new investments by U.S. exchanges, brokers, banks, or other financial entities if China fails to meet these standards. The restriction applies only to new investments, not existing ones, and focuses on financial market access rather than broader economic ties.
