“The United States are making commitments, and the Chinese are making comments, and that’s a concern,” added Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.), who chaired the hearing.

The move allowed the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which is 70 percent owned by the Chinese government, to take an 80 percent stake in a Hong Kong-based bank with 13 branches in the United States. The Fed also allowed two other Chinese banks to open branches in New York and Chicago.
