Wall Street banks helped Chinese military-linked firm raise billions despite red flags, lawmakers find
A House committee report claims that major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, helped a Chinese battery company raise billions despite its designation as a military-linked firm by the Pentagon. The banks did not break any U.S. laws but chose to ignore national security concerns for financial gain. This situation has sparked a debate about the role of American financial institutions in funding companies associated with China's military.
- ▪The Pentagon designated the Chinese battery company CATL as a military-linked firm in January 2025.
- ▪JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America underwrote CATL's Hong Kong IPO, raising money from global investors.
- ▪The report highlights a gap in U.S. policy, as the designation does not prohibit investment in these companies.
