Screening of Chinese Investments 中国投资审查
•CFIUS screening has become controversial with respect to Chinese investment in the US. But many criticisms/concerns are based on misunderstandings. If parties are properly advised/represented, CFIUS normally clears proposed Chinese acquisitions.美国外国投资委员会对来自中国的投资的审查已经引起 了一些争议。但是很多批评和担忧还是因误解造成。如果交易各方获得适当 咨询和代理,该委员会正常情况下都会通过提议的来自中国的并购。 •Orrick has great depth in this area. It was involved in two of approximately ten CFIUS cases that have gone to the desk of the president for decision. 奥睿在该 领域有很深的造诣。奥睿参与了最近走到了总统审查这一步的10个外国投资 委员会项目中的两个。 •Our firm recently represented the PRC government aerospace conglomerate Aviation Industry Corporation of China (“AVIC”) when it bought the U.S. plane maker Cirrus in 2011 – secured CFIUS clearance.奥睿最近代表中国国有 航空巨头中国航空工业集团公司(AVIC)于2011年并购美国飞机制造商 Cirrus,并帮助该交易通过了美国外国投资委员会的审查。 •In fact, more Chinese deals are approved than denied or modified. While CFIUS is a hurdle that must be cleared, it generally is not an insurmountable. 事实上,相比被否决或被要求修改的交易,获批的中国交易还是更多。虽然 委员会审批是必须清除的障碍,但是总的来说,这个障碍并非无法克服。 8

CFIUS Clearance: The First Hurdle 美国外国投资委员会审查:第一个障碍
•The “Exon-Florio” law authorizes the President to block non-U.S. investment in the United States for national security reasons. 埃克森-佛罗里奥法案授权美 国总统可以国家安全为由阻挡非美国人在美国投资。 •The President generally has authority to act against a transaction if it could result in a non-U.S. person gaining control over a U.S. business.通常情况如果 一项交易会导致非美国人控制一个美国的行业,则总统有权反对该交易。 •At the discretion of transaction parties, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) will screen a transaction – explore whether the transaction presents unacceptable national security risk.交易方可以选择是否由 美国外国投资委员会排查,看该交易是否会有不可接受的国家安全风险。 •CFIUS clearance generally insulates a transaction from adverse action. Without CFIUS clearance, the transaction is always susceptible to a divestment order.该委员会的批准通常可以使得一项交易不再受到反对。如果没经该委员 会的审批,则该交易随时可能因撤资令而告吹。
