Restrictions on Tax-Exempt Entities' Investments in Chinese Companies.

This new law aims to restrict investments by U.S. tax-exempt organizations in Chinese companies. If your organization is tax-exempt, it could lose that status if it invests in certain Chinese entities. This is intended to protect U.S. interests and increase investment transparency.
Key points
Tax-exempt organizations (e.g., foundations, some retirement plans) may lose their status if they invest in "disqualified Chinese companies."
The act defines "disqualified Chinese company" to include entities controlled by the Chinese government or the Chinese Communist Party.
Waivers for such investments are possible but require demonstrating that the need for the investment outweighs the threat to the U.S.
Annual reporting on Chinese investments will be required, and the government will publish lists of safe investment funds.
