US Lawmakers Urge SEC to Restrict Chinese Military-Linked Companies on US Markets
Two senior Republican lawmakers, John Moolenaar and Rick Scott, have urged the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to consider restricting Chinese companies linked to China's military from trading on American stock exchanges. Their request follows an updated Section 1260H list identifying 65 such companies. They argue that limiting these firms' access to US capital markets is necessary to protect the economy, investors, and national security, citing existing legal provisions that empower the SEC to act.
