On Oct. 9, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the Chinese-owned Ralls’case with respect to a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) of its acquisition of several Oregon wind farms, which led to an order by President Obama for Ralls to divest its interests. The key take-away from this case is that Chinese companies, seeking to acquire U.S. businesses, should take advantage of the opportunity to obtain a CFIUS determination in advance of the acquisition. The Chinese government should have the similar legislation as to the Defense Act in order to safeguard the Chinese national security and counter the U.S. abuse of its law.
