The business relationship between the US and China may get a lot worse.
Business Insider reports new US Treasury Dept. measures could deepen the gulf between the pair.
They would block firms with 25% or more Chinese ownership from buying US tech companies.
The new curbs are designed to protect US intellectual property.
China announced tariffs on $50 billion worth of imports from the US last week.
The move was in response to President Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, set to begin in July.
