China Offers 1 Trillion Dollar Investment in Exchange for U.S. Easing National Security Restrictions

Liberty Times Net | Local Language | News | Oct. 6, 2025 | Shifting Geopolitical Alliances

China has proposed investing $1 trillion in the United States in exchange for the U.S. lifting national security restrictions on Chinese companies’ investments and trade. This offer, reportedly made during recent U.S.-China trade talks in Madrid, would represent a major shift in U.S. policy, which has focused on limiting Chinese investments due to security concerns over the last decade.

Chinese negotiators have also requested lower tariffs on components and raw materials used by Chinese companies manufacturing in the U.S. Following the talks, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged U.S. President Trump to create favorable conditions for Chinese investment. The proposal is part of broader demands, including a push for the U.S. to alter its longstanding position on Taiwan, a critical issue for Washington.

Former U.S. deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger warned that allowing a surge in Chinese investment would be a significant concession to Beijing, effectively aligning the U.S. with China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Although the exact scale of the investment remains unclear, the proposal contrasts with past U.S. policies that prioritized export purchases over inbound investment from China. Despite potential federal changes, state-level restrictions on Chinese capital could pose additional challenges.

China is motivated by its economic difficulties, including weakening domestic demand and shrinking employment, and sees access to the U.S. consumer market as advantageous. The proposal signals a potential major realignment in U.S.-China economic relations, pending the outcome of ongoing negotiations.
