Summary

  • CFIUS has now widened the scope of its inquiries, affecting more and more China-related transactions
  • This leads to lengthier reviews of Chinese transactions
  • Non-Chinese parties with operations in China could also be subject to CFIUS reviews
  • Although the outcome of a CFIUS review ultimately depends on the individual case, lawyers suggest companies prepare for CFIUS scrutiny and questions well in advance
