Relations between Washington and Beijing have plummeted to some of their worst levels in decades.
Commerce secretary Gina Raimondo’s trip to China will also include a visit to economic powerhouse Shanghai.
The visits could culminate in a meeting between the nation’s leaders, with US president Joe Biden saying recently that he was expecting to sit down with China’s Xi Jinping this year. “I just landed in Beijing for a busy few days of meetings with senior PRC officials and US business leaders,” she said, referring to China by the initials for its official name.
This month, Biden issued an executive order aimed at restricting certain American investments in sensitive high-tech areas in China – a move Beijing blasted as being “anti-globalisation”. But neither Yellen’s nor Blinken’s visit led to major breakthroughs, and a recent Camp David summit between the US, South Korea, and Japan aimed in part at countering China sparked condemnation from Beijing.
