The chair of a U.S. House committee on Thursday urged President Joe Biden to adopt expansive restrictions on outbound U.S. investment in China especially in key sectors likely to harm U.S. national security.

Representative Mike Gallagher, a Republican who heads the select committee on China, wants the Biden administration to "include both private and public market investments flowing to China in new restrictions."

For more than two years, U.S. lawmakers have been pushing the Biden administration to boost oversight of investments by U.S. companies and individuals in China. Gallagher said investments in key sectors relevant to national security and central to China'a technological rise should be restricted and ensure U.S. capital "does not support the ongoing People’s Liberation Army buildup, facilitate the CCP’s human rights abuses or techno-totalitarian surveillance system, or deepen our dependency on in critical supply chains.

He also wants Biden to "consult with allies and partners before implementing new restrictions and urge them to adopt parallel restrictions on investing in China."
