| Sumario: | The article focuses on a Senate-approved amendment to the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) aimed at restricting U.S. investments in certain advanced technologies in China to protect national security. Sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and co-signed by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., the amendment prohibits investments in advanced integrated circuits, high-powered AI models, quantum computing, and other emerging technologies subject to export controls, while requiring investor notifications to the Treasury Department. Additional related amendments address technology and data protection risks from China and other foreign countries of concern, including restrictions on biotechnology equipment and cybersecurity studies. The Senate and House versions of the NDAA differ on these investment restrictions, and final reconciliation is pending.
