美国财政部发布外国投资新规

The Treasury Department has issued new rules on foreign investments into American companies that will give the government more power to block foreign transactions on national security grounds.

The rules represent the latest escalation in an intensifying economic conflict between the United States and China. It will implement a program for tougher reviews of foreign acquisitions that Congress approved this summer.

The new regulations will require foreign investors to alert a Treasury-led interagency committee to all deals that would give the foreign investors access to critical technology covering 27 industries, including semiconductors, telecommunications and defense.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says the new rules will "address specific risks to U.S. critical technology."

美国财政部对外国投资进入美国公司发布了新的规定，这将扩大政府以国家安全为由阻止外国并购交易的权力。

这些规则是美国与中国之间日益激烈的经济冲突升级的最新展示。新规则将实施一项计划，对国会今年夏天批准的外国收购进行更严格的审查。

新规则将要求外国投资者向一个由财政部领导的跨机构委员会申报所有能让他们获得涉及27个行业的关键技术的交易，包括半导体、电信和国防。

美国财政部长努钦说，新规定将“解决美国关键技术面临的特定风险问题”。
