And, finally, they allow the Secretary of Defense publicly to list whether a company is a Communist Chinese military company

Shit's gonna go down.

Are there are intelligent pedes who can give the over/under of this? I read it, but not sure what the implications are.

Gives to Sec Def leeway in identifying companies that are CCP owned.

They also prohibit possession of such securities by United States persons 1 year after a company is determined to be a Communist Chinese military company ...

This will force pension funds and investors to sell off anything the US determines to be of a Chinese military nature -- this could be a lot of Chinese companies.

Maybe if it were penned by a democrat. That’s the precedent. Democrat EOs are unassailable, while Republican EOs carry no weight.

Probably, but a lot of questions will be raised. And that's the point.

Sycophant media will not be raising any questions.

Commie Democrats and RINO's have to sell all their CCP stock within one year.

Today, I signed an Executive Order amending Executive Order 13959. The amendments prohibit certain sales as well as purchases of publicly traded securities, or any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to such securities, of any Communist Chinese military company.

If I'm not mistaken, this would exclude UBS and Staple Street Capital (both mentioned on the "money trail" slide of Pulitzer's report) from doing business in the US.

Wonder if any Big Tech is wrapped up in this?

Twitter comes to mind. Just speaking off the cuff, Twitter seems not to give an eff about user growth, which is the primary driver of their market price.
