Investment & Manufacturing
Chinese-owned and Chinese-affiliated operations inside the United States: factories, real estate, and the regulatory framework governing foreign investment.
Coverage spans Chinese direct investment in American manufacturing facilities, agricultural land and commercial real estate, the CFIUS review process, state-level foreign investment restrictions, and the policy debate over economic security and open investment.
A Note on Methodology
Chinese investment in the United States is documented through CFIUS filings, SEC disclosures, state corporate registrations, USDA agricultural land reports, and investigative reporting. Not all Chinese-affiliated investment is publicly disclosed or easily traceable. Figures cited reflect documented and estimated totals from publicly available sources. Investment by companies with Chinese state ownership, Chinese private ownership, or significant Chinese institutional shareholding is covered; the threshold for inclusion is noted in individual articles.
