  • U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesperson For Immediate Release FACT SHEET December 8, 2020 U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices “Under Xi Jinping, the CCP has prioritized something called ‘military-civil fusion.’ … Chinese companies and researchers must… under penalty of law – share technology with the Chinese military. The goal is to ensure that the People’s Liberation Army has military dominance. And the PLA’s core mission is to sustain the Chinese Communist Party’s grip on power.” – Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, January 13, 2020 The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to American national security extends into our financial markets and impacts American investors. Many major stock and bond indices developed by index providers like MSCI and FTSE include malign People’s Republic of China (PRC) companies that are listed on the Department of Commerce’s Entity List and/or the Department of Defense’s List of “Communist Chinese military companies” (CCMCs). The money flowing into these index funds – often passively, from U.S. retail investors – supports Chinese companies involved in both civilian and military production. Some of these companies produce technologies for the surveillance of civilians and repression of human rights, as is the case with Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang, China, as well as in other repressive regimes, such as Iran and Venezuela. As of December 2020, at least 24 of the 35 parent-level CCMCs had affiliates’ securities included on a major securities index. This includes at least 71 distinct affiliate-level securities issuers.

Overview This report aims to provide an overview of the process and methodology behind our analysis of technology hardware and semiconductors companies, through analyzing the business and financial metrics of technology hardware and semiconductors companies. The report also provides insight into the key drivers behind our analysis of technology hardware and semiconductors companies’ credit quality. By applying our corporate ratings methodology framework to public information, we have carried out a desktop analysis of 30 technology hardware and semiconductors companies, reaching an initial overview of the relative ranking of each company’s credit quality, or their “indicative issuer credit quality.” To better understand the relative position of each firm within the industry in terms of key metrics, we have also collected further data on a wider pool of 148 companies, including the 30 entities in our sample.
