Suirui International (a subsidiary of Suirui Group Co., Ltd., Hong Kong) acquired Jupiter Systems, LLC — a US maker of video-wall and audio-visual display technology — from Foxconn in February 2020 without notifying CFIUS. In 2024, under the Biden Administration, CFIUS requested a voluntary written notice of the completed transaction, which the parties filed. CFIUS's review found that a Chinese military-affiliated company indirectly holds an ownership interest in Suirui Group and has the right to appoint one of its directors, creating a national-security risk that Jupiter's technology — deployed in military and critical-infrastructure settings — could be compromised or exploited for intelligence purposes.
On 2025-07-08, President Trump signed an order under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act (the CFIUS statute) formally prohibiting the 2020 transaction after the fact and directing Suirui to divest all interests and rights in Jupiter within 120 days, with CFIUS empowered to extend the deadline. The order also blocks Jupiter from holding interests in any Suirui- linked Asian subsidiary formed after the original 2020 deal. It was published in the Federal Register on 2025-07-11.
This is a rare instance of CFIUS unwinding an already-completed, unreported transaction retroactively rather than blocking a pending deal — a mechanism the Committee has used only a handful of times previously (e.g., TikTok/ ByteDance, PatientsLikeMe, StayNTouch).
