Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Threat From Securities Investments That Finance Certain Companies of the People's Republic of China
This document is an Executive Order that continues the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13959 (Nov. 12, 2020) and expanded by Executive Order 14032 (June 3, 2021). It states that the threat posed by securities investments that finance certain Chinese (PRC) companies remains an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States’ national security, foreign policy, and economy. The order renews that emergency for one additional year beyond November 12, 2025 (i.e., through late 2026), in accordance with the National Emergencies Act. It confirms that the existing restrictions and authorities tied to 13959 and 14032 remain in effect, and that the government will publish the notice in the Federal Register and transmit it to Congress. The document does not itself lay out new restrictions, but continues the framework already established in the prior orders. In short, the White House is reaffirming its stance that certain PRC security investments pose a continuing risk and is extending the emergency authorities for another year to address that risk.
