US Treasury Proposes Rule to Restrict Investments in China and Ban Home Buying

• The US Treasury proposes tighter rules on investing in sensitive Chinese tech, including AI, hypersonic weapons, and biotech.
• The proposed rule aims to crack down on high-tech investments in China, Russia, North Korea, and other 'countries of concern'.
• New regulations would bar large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes.
• The rule is part of the implementation of a bipartisan housing law passed this summer.
• The proposed rule is expected to address housing affordability concerns by limiting institutional investment in residential properties.
