15 state treasurers urge states to divest pension funds from China | National
SUMMARY: State legislatures and financial officers from 15 states are urging pension fund fiduciaries to divest from investments in China due to concerns about threats posed by the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). They cite unreliable audits, market manipulations, and risks related to Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) as key reasons for divestment. Financial leaders highlight that failure to act could result in significant financial losses, similar to the experience following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, they warn about national security threats and ongoing espionage activities linked to China.
