Amid fears of Chinese influence, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has grown more powerful

A Chinese private equity firm, Primavera Capital Group, acquired the well-known test preparation company Princeton Review and an online learning platform, Tutor.com, in May 2023.

Key Points: 
  • A Chinese private equity firm, Primavera Capital Group, acquired the well-known test preparation company Princeton Review and an online learning platform, Tutor.com, in May 2023.
  • What remains unclear, however, is if this seemingly routine business acquisition was reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which has authority to examine transactions involving foreign investment.
  • The committee is largely prohibited from publicly disclosing any information filed with it, including if it is reviewing a transaction or if one was referred for review.
  • While the committee is hardly a household name, its mission and expanding oversight have important implications for the U.S. economy and national security.

Government oversight

    • The Committee on Foreign Investment, a U.S. government interagency committee established in 1975 by President Gerald Ford, is tasked with studying and coordinating the implementation of policy on foreign investment in America.
    • Investment by foreign countries greatly benefits the U.S., supporting 10.1% of the total labor force in 2019.
    • Yet beginning in the 1980s, the federal government grew increasingly concerned about potentially harmful effects of foreign investment in the U.S. For example, if a foreign firm gets control of sensitive technologies, it could hurt national competitive advantages or even threaten national security.
    • Real estate transactions are generally scrutinized only when a transaction involves land that is either close to a military base or near an airport or seaport.

Vetting foreign investments

    • The purchase of Fairfield Semiconductor was considered a sensitive industry, with potential defense applications, and prompted Congress in 1988 to pass the Exon-Florio amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950.
    • This amendment empowered the committee to not just review foreign investment deals but also to recommend rejecting them.
    • Acting on its recommendation, a U.S. president could block a foreign transaction on “national security” grounds.

Strengthening the committee

    • Because of terrorism-related concerns, Sen. Chuck Schumer led a campaign against this proposal and the transaction was eventually called off, even though it had initially been approved by both the committee and President George W. Bush.
    • In the aftermath of this controversy, lawmakers passed the Foreign Investment and National Security Act in 2007, giving Congress greater oversight of the committee to ensure that potential acquisitions were adequately reviewed.
    • In addition, it required the committee to scrutinize all foreign investment deals in which the pertinent overseas entity is either owned or controlled by a foreign power.

National security concerns

    • Over time, the Committee on Foreign Investment has been given more power to reflect and act on the political and economic concerns of the U.S. China, for example, appears to have global ambitions to replace the U.S.-led world order.
    • In response to these concerns, concrete steps have been taken by U.S. lawmakers to increase the scope of what the committee is able to do.
    • The Committee on Foreign Investment is now more powerful than it has ever been, and it is a gatekeeper on major foreign investment deals.
    • The U.S. is not alone in examining foreign investment deals for national security implications.
