Foreign Investment Guardrails to Help Thwart (FIGHT) China Act
HR 2246, the Foreign Investment Guardrails to Help Thwart (FIGHT) China Act, restricts U.S. investments in Chinese companies involved in sensitive national security technologies by prohibiting certain transactions and requiring notifications. The bill targets U.S. persons (individuals and businesses) making investments in "covered foreign persons" (those connected to China's military, surveillance, or defense sectors) in specific "prohibited technologies" including advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and hypersonic systems. It creates a public database of covered entities, mandates divestment from securities of companies on the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List after a 365-day period, and requires notifications for certain transactions. The law applies specifically to China as the "country of concern," with Hong Kong and Macau included in the definition.
