-foreign direct investment from responsible private sector

-entities based in trusted countries is directly linked to the

-long-term economic prosperity, global competitiveness, and

-security of the United States;</DELETED>

-<DELETED> (2) it is a top national priority to enhance the

-global competitiveness, economic prosperity, and security of

-sector entities based in trusted countries and the jobs

-that such investment creates throughout the United

-<DELETED> (B) promoting policies to ensure the

-further addressed; and</DELETED>

-<DELETED> (7) foreign direct investment by companies or

-other entities owned, directed, supported, or influenced by the

-Chinese Communist Party is a threat to the security of the

-United States and merits an aggressive policy framework to
