The Treasury Department finalized a crackdown that will prevent the U.S. from investing in the development of military technologies in China this week .

Hawks say the rule is "long overdue" and not broad enough, while some are skeptical of taking US . investment power out of China .

The rule seeks to limit the access "countries of concern" like China , including Hong Kong and Macao , have to fund development of high-level technologies.

U.S. investment in China has been on the decline for years amid a cooling of relations between the two world powers.
