The U.S. companyโ€™s products are used in military and critical infrastructure environments.

President Donald Trump issued an order instructing Hong Kong-based Suirui International Co., Limited, to divest all its interests in Delaware-based Jupiter Systems, LLC, due to national security risks, the Department of the Treasury said in a July 11 statement.

Suirui International is a majority-owned subsidiary of Suirui Group Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of China, the order said. Suirui International had acquired all interests in Jupiter via a transaction in February 2020. The acquisition included two subsidiaries of Jupiter, one in Hong Kong and another in China.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency that reviews certain transactions involving foreign investments, looked at the deal and identified a national security risk arising from Suiruiโ€™s ownership of Jupiter โ€œrelating to the potential compromise of Jupiterโ€™s products used in military and critical infrastructure environments,โ€ according to the Treasury.

โ€œTo address this risk, the Presidentโ€™s order directs Suirui to divest all interests and rights in Jupiter,โ€ it said. The order also requires that โ€œJupiter hold no interest or rights in any assets or operations of its Chinese subsidiaries acquired or created after the completion of the transaction.โ€

According to Jupiter, the company offers collaborative visualization processors and software enabling โ€œmission-critical, 24/7 informed decision-making.โ€ It supplies products to diverse sectors including military, government, space, police, banking, and health care.

In a July 12 statement, Jupiter said it was aware of the federal order prohibiting the 2020 acquisition by Suirui and was โ€œactively reviewing the decision in consultation with legal counsel and our stakeholders.โ€

The company clarified it does not anticipate any disruptions to business or customer service while the issue is adjudicated.

โ€œWe are focused on developing and manufacturing cutting-edge display wall and control room technologies to mission-critical environments. Our commitment to innovation, national security, and compliance with U.S. laws and regulations has always been unwavering as a U.S.-based company,โ€ Jupiter said.

CFIUSโ€™s decision follows a Feb. 21 memorandum signed by Trump seeking to tackle national security threats related to Chinese investments in America.
