Raimondo will meet with senior Chinese officials and American business leaders in Beijing and Shanghai to discuss “issues relating to the US-China commercial relationship, challenges faced by US businesses and areas for potential cooperation,” the Commerce Department said in a press release.
Earlier in August, President Joe Biden issued new investment curbs, exacerbating tensions that were already fraught over issues including Taiwan, human rights abuses in Xinjiang, intellectual property threats, and an alleged Chinese spy balloon that the US shot down in February.Those flareups have created a difficult backdrop for other Biden administration officials during their trips to China.
One potential consequence could be a working group with China’s commerce ministry that would discuss export controls as well as Chinese companies that have been added to a Commerce Department export blacklist.Yet that idea has sparked harsh criticism from Republicans in Congress, who wrote to Raimondo last week urging her not to allow the Chinese to weigh in on the investment curbs.
