Daunted by geopolitics and trade war, US companies in China report record-low new investment plans
WASHINGTON (AP) — American companies in China are reporting record-low new investment plans for this year and declining confidence in their profitability, with uncertainty in U.S.-China relations and President Donald Trump's tariffs their top concerns, according to a survey released Wednesday. The companies are also challenged by China's slowing economy, where weak domestic demand and overcapacity in local industries are eroding profitability for the Americans. 'Businesses in China are less profitable now than they were years ago, but risks, including reputational risk, regulatory risk, and political risk, are increasing,' said Sean Stein, the president of the U.S.-China Business Council, a Washington-based group that represents American companies doing business in China, including major multinationals. The survey, conducted between March and May and drawing from 130 member companies, came as the two countries clash over tariffs and non-tariff measures, including export controls on critical products such as rare-earth magnets and advanced computer chips. Following high-level talks in Geneva and London, U.S. and Chinese officials agreed to pull back from sky-high tariffs and restrictions on exports, but uncertainty persists as the two sides are yet to hammer out a more permanent trade deal. Kyle Sullivan, vice president of business advisory services at the USCBC, said more than half of the companies in the survey indicated they do not have new investment plans in China 'at all' this year. "That's a record high,' Sullivan said, noting that it is ''a new development that we have not observed in previous surveys.' Around 40% of companies reported negative effects from U.S. export control measures, with many experiencing lost sales, severed customer relationships, and reputational damage from being unreliable suppliers, according to the survey. Citing national security, the U.S. government has banned exports to China of high-tech products, such as the most advanced chips, which could help boost China's military capabilities. Stein argued that export controls must be very carefully targeted, because businesses from Europe or Japan, or local businesses in China would immediately fill the void left by American companies. Silicon Valley chipmaker Nvidia won approval from the Trump administration to resume sales to China of its advanced H20 chips used to develop artificial intelligence, its CEO Jensen Huang announced on Monday, though the company's most powerful chips remain under U.S. export control rules. While 82% of U.S. companies reported profits in 2024, fewer than half are optimistic about the future in China, reflecting concerns over tariffs, deflation, and policy uncertainty, according to the survey. Also, a record high number of American businesses plan to relocate their business operations outside of China, Sullivan said, as 27% of the members indicated so, up from 19% the year before. In a departure from past surveys, concerns over China's regulatory environment, including risks of intellectual property misuse and lack of market access, didn't make it to the top five concerns this year. That's likely a first, and not for a good reason, Stein said. 'It is not because things got dramatically better on the Chinese side, but the new challenges, often coming from the U.S., are now posing as much of a challenge,' Stein said. Almost all the American companies said they cannot remain globally competitive without their Chinese operations. A survey from the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China in May found that European companies were cutting costs and scaling back investment plans in China as its economy slows and fierce competition drives down prices.

How Bank of America's (BAC) Stablecoin Strategy Signals Mainstream Crypto Adoption
Bank of America (BAC) is poised to join the stablecoin race, with CEO Brian Moynihan confirming on July 16 that the bank has 'done a lot of work' on issuing dollar-pegged tokens. While he stopped short of providing a launch date, Moynihan emphasized that the second-largest U.S. bank is prepared to move forward when client demand and market infrastructure align. Moynihan told analysts that BoA is still gauging the scale of adoption, noting that 'in some places there are not big amounts of money movement.' He indicated the institution will likely deploy its stablecoin in partnership with established players, ensuring the token meets both transactional needs and regulatory standards. Market Overview: Bank of America signals stablecoin ambitions after extensive internal development. Morgan Stanley weighing its own stablecoin strategy amid the evolving crypto landscape. Stablecoins positioned to bridge traditional banking and digital asset markets. Key Points: BoA assessing client demand and regulatory pathways before issuance. Rollout expected through partnerships to leverage technology and compliance expertise. CEO Moynihan cites measured approach given current muted usage. Looking Ahead: Monitor BoA's stablecoin pilot and partner announcements. Track Morgan Stanley's decision on entering the stablecoin market. Watch for evolving Treasury and White House crypto guidelines. Bull Case: Bank of America's stablecoin initiative signals a major vote of confidence in regulated, dollar-backed digital currencies, which could accelerate mainstream adoption by offering institutional-grade security and trust to enterprise and retail clients alike. With its deep compliance infrastructure and global reach, BoA is well-positioned to set the standard for regulatory and operational rigor in the stablecoin market, potentially differentiating its offering from unregulated competitors. Partnering with established technology or crypto firms enables BoA to quickly scale its stablecoin solution, benefit from cutting-edge innovation, and ensure rapid integration with existing payment rails and financial platforms. A successful launch could attract new deposit inflows and position BoA as a liquidity provider at the heart of future tokenized payment systems, expanding its role beyond traditional banking into next-generation finance. The move may drive broader adoption of asset-backed tokens by large corporates, fintechs, and institutional clients, bridging traditional and digital markets while deepening BoA's client relationships. By entering early, BoA can influence regulatory conversations, help shape industry standards, and establish itself as a credible counterparty for tokenized settlements in a rapidly evolving market. Bear Case: Uncertainty around regulatory frameworks, client demand, and the ultimate use case for stablecoins could delay BoA's launch and limit adoption, particularly if market infrastructure fails to scale or if compliance requirements evolve unpredictably. Widespread adoption of BoA's stablecoin may cannibalize traditional payments and deposit products, potentially compressing fee and interest margins across the bank's portfolio. Competition from both crypto-native stablecoins (e.g., USDC, USDT) and other top-tier banks like Morgan Stanley (MS), Citi (C), or JPMorgan (JPM) could fragment the market, limiting BoA's ability to capture significant market share or differentiate its product. Operational risks, cybersecurity threats, and the challenge of integrating new technology with legacy banking systems could create vulnerabilities—potentially impacting trust and triggering regulatory backlash if issues arise. If demand for stablecoins remains muted—especially outside of specific niches—then the business case for a major bank-backed token could be weak, yielding limited commercial benefit or return on development investment. Political volatility, such as rapid changes in White House or Treasury positions, could create shifting regulatory headwinds, making it difficult for BoA or peers to execute long-term stablecoin strategies with confidence. President Trump's self-styled 'crypto president' persona has lent political momentum to mainstream digital-asset adoption, even as traditional custodians weigh their entries. Morgan Stanley confirmed it is 'still weighing its options,' underscoring Wall Street's cautious but growing interest in tokenized currencies. As banks like BoA and Morgan Stanley explore stablecoins, the move marks a watershed moment in finance—signaling a shift from speculative trading to regulated, bank-backed digital currencies. Industry observers will be watching closely for the first issuances, as they promise to reshape payments, liquidity management, and the competitive landscape in both crypto and traditional banking.
