This year, the White House announced an investment review order in the technology sector, which attracted widespread attention. The ban covers cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, satellite communications, and quantum computing. However, the U.S. House of Representatives is now openly opposing plans to use tightened controls to invest in Chinese technology, and also opposes the White House's use of the bill to conduct investment review orders on U.S. companies, according to U.S. reports. This opposition is a sign that the controversy surrounding the bill has emerged, with some arguing that investment restrictions should not be excessively restricted, and that investment bans are variable. However, it remains to be seen whether it will bring reassurance to American chip companies.
According to the analysis, although the U.S. House of Representatives opposes a broad investment review ban, restrictions on individual companies will still exist. This means that there are still some U.S. businesses that will face the investment review ban imposed by the bill. Companies such as Qualcomm, Intel and Nvidia are likely to be on the list of those under investigation. The three giants had previously jointly demanded that the investment review order not be implemented and that the ban on shipments to the mainland market be lifted. Intel has always had plans to increase investment in the mainland, and Nvidia is also conducting research and development in China. Qualcomm was named on the priority list when rumors of a ban emerged. Tesla is in a different position, making it clear that it will not leave its gigafactory in Shanghai and continue to increase its investment in China. At present, there is uncertainty about whether the investment review ban in the United States will continue smoothly.
Against the backdrop of the U.S. House of Representatives' public opposition to the White House's investment ban, the U.S. investment review ban has faced variables and controversy. While some argue that investment restrictions should not be excessively restricted, it is not possible to lift the restrictions imposed on individual companies. This has created a crisis for American chip companies such as Qualcomm, Intel and Nvidia. Although Tesla has stated that it will not withdraw from the Chinese market and continues to expand its investment in China, it is in a different situation from these chip giants. At present, there is still uncertainty about whether the implementation of the bill will be carried out smoothly.
First, the U.S. House of Representatives' statement shows the opposition to the investment review ban. The bill restricts investment plans in Chinese technology and prohibits U.S. companies from investing in cutting-edge sectors in certain markets. However, those who disagree with the broad restrictions on investment argue that such an approach could be detrimental to the development of the technology sector. They believe that innovation and collaboration should be encouraged and supported, rather than restricting investment. These internal controversies have led to the variables of the investment ban.
Second, while the U.S. House of Representatives has opposed the broad imposition of a ban on investment review, the imposition of restrictions on individual companies remains. As a result, some U.S. chip companies are still facing the investment review ban imposed by the bill. Companies such as Qualcomm, Intel and Nvidia are likely to be investigated and restricted. The companies have jointly called for the investment review order not to be implemented and for the ban on shipments to the mainland market to be lifted. Intel plans to increase its investment in China, while Nvidia has conducted a series of R&D in China. Qualcomm was named on the focus list when rumors of a ban appeared. As a result, these businesses are still facing a crisis in terms of investment restrictions.
Tesla, however, is more explicit. They said they would not withdraw from the Chinese market and would continue to increase investment in China. Unlike the chip giants, Tesla's position may not be on the list of investment review bans. This also shows Tesla's importance and confidence in the Chinese market.
At present, the investment review ban in the United States is facing variables and challenges. The U.S. House of Representatives' opposition to the White House ban shows dissatisfaction and controversy over investment restrictions. At the same time, the limited U.S. chip companies are also difficult to accept the test of the next storm. At the same time, the American Semiconductor Association is also constantly putting pressure on the law to be implemented as soon as possible. The future of the investment review ban remains uncertain due to a combination of internal and external factors.
Although the U.S. House of Representatives has opposed a broad ban on investment review, restrictions on individual companies will remain.

At present, there is uncertainty about whether the investment review ban in the United States will continue smoothly.
It remains to be seen whether the investment review ban will further loosen restrictions on mainland chips and devices amid more opposition. It is hoped that the United States can weigh the pros and cons when formulating policies, and aim to promote scientific and technological innovation and cooperation to achieve win-win development.
