Title 3—
The President
Executive Order 13959 of November 12, 2020
Addressing the Threat From Securities Investments That Fi-
nance Communist Chinese Military Companies
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emer-
gencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United
States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find
that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is increasingly exploiting United
States capital to resource and to enable the development and modernization
of its military, intelligence, and other security apparatuses, which continues
to allow the PRC to directly threaten the United States homeland and United
States forces overseas, including by developing and deploying weapons of
mass destruction, advanced conventional weapons, and malicious cyber-
enabled actions against the United States and its people.
Key to the development of the PRC’s military, intelligence, and other security
apparatuses is the country’s large, ostensibly private economy. Through the
national strategy of Military-Civil Fusion, the PRC increases the size of
the country’s military-industrial complex by compelling civilian Chinese
companies to support its military and intelligence activities. Those compa-
nies, though remaining ostensibly private and civilian, directly support the
PRC’s military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid in their devel-
opment and modernization.
At the same time, those companies raise capital by selling securities to
United States investors that trade on public exchanges both here and abroad,
lobbying United States index providers and funds to include these securities
in market offerings, and engaging in other acts to ensure access to United
States capital. In that way, the PRC exploits United States investors to
finance the development and modernization of its military.
I therefore further find that the PRC’s military-industrial complex, by directly
supporting the efforts of the PRC’s military, intelligence, and other security
apparatuses, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has
its source in substantial part outside the United States, to the national
security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. To protect the
United States homeland and the American people, I hereby declare a national
emergency with respect to this threat.
Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) The following actions are prohibited:
(i) beginning 9:30 a.m. eastern standard time on January 11, 2021, any
transaction in publicly traded securities, or any securities that are deriva-
tive of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities,
of any Communist Chinese military company as defined in section 4(a)(i)
of this order, by any United States person; and
(ii) beginning 9:30 a.m. eastern standard time on the date that is 60
days after a person is determined to be a Communist Chinese military
company pursuant to section (4)(a)(ii) or (iii) of this order, any transaction
in publicly traded securities, or any securities that are derivative of, or
are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of that
person, by any United States person.
