REUTERS/Elizabeth Frantz/File PhotoNEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday will detail its plans to prohibit some U.S. investments in sensitive technology in China, and require that the government be notified of other investments, a senior government source told Reuters.
Reuters reported on Friday that President Joe Biden was expected to soon issue the long-awaited executive order to screen outbound investments in sensitive technologies to China this week.
The administration is expected to target active investment such as U.S. private equity, venture capital and joint venture investments in China in semiconductors, quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
Most investments captured by the order will require that the government be notified about them, sources have said.
The details are still a work in progress, but it is unlikely to cover passive or securities investments, the person said.
