The decline continues a trend of the last three years, reversing a flurry of mergers and acquisitions by Chinese conglomerates in the U.S. that included purchases such as the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

There will likely be more political pressure for Chinese stakeholders to sell out to American businesses.

Although they expect some pressure to subside following the election, they said, "systematic concerns driving caution on Chinese investment in high technology, critical infrastructure and personal data assets will not subside." The share of foreign-involved deals subjected to review soared to 32% — the highest on record, the report said, adding that fewer than 10% of domestic deals faced such scrutiny. It noted that deals tied to overseas firms fell 17% year-on-year to 151, while domestic deals declined 9% year-on-year to 324 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
