Canada Tightens Review of Foreign Investment in AI and Quantum Computing [TheGuru=Sungil Hong] The Canadian government is strengthening its review of foreign capital investments. The move is being analyzed as a step in line with the United States' efforts to curb China. According to industry reports on the 31st, the Canadian government has decided to conduct a strict review of foreign investment proposals in sensitive sectors. The Canadian government released a statement to that effect on Sept. 26 (local time). The move is in response to the recent amendments to the Investment Canada Act. The revised Investment Canada Act requires foreign companies that want to acquire companies in sensitive sectors to notify the Canadian government before the deal is finalized. The sensitive sectors identified by the Canadian government include artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and space technology. Under the enhanced measures, the Canadian government can restrict access to foreign investors seeking to acquire companies in these sectors during the review period. Even if the acquisition is finalized, investors may not have access to the acquired company's data and assets. China has been blamed for the Canadian government's tightening of the review process, which had been open to foreign investment.

Industry analysts believe that Canada is following in the footsteps of the United States, which is wary of China's growing influence. The Canadian government has also mentioned the possibility of expanding the scope of the regulation to other sectors in the future, so the scope of the regulation will be closely watched...
