Decoupling result of US' China policy
China DailyBy Yifan Xu in Washington | China Daily | Updated: 2024-06-27 09:51 Capital market decoupling between the United States and China is occurring to some extent, and US restrictions targeting China have played a significant role, experts said. US President Joe Biden signed an executive order last August to establish a foreign investment review mechanism to restrict US entities from investing in China's semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technology, and artificial intelligence fields. Gupta said those areas are where the US side would essentially seek to "decouple" from China. Goal laid bare "And so, the goal for the US going forward is to decouple and suppress China in these sectors rather than countenance fair competition," Gupta said. William Jones, a nonresident fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said US venture capitalists would certainly like to get a "piece of the action" in China's high-tech area while the US government is taken aback by China's rapid progress in high-tech, and it seeks to restrain that progress by preventing venture capital from getting involved in China.
