Gina Raimondo will also declare US national security trade measures off-limits for debate.
BEIJING: US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo arrived in Beijing late today for a four-day visit aimed at boosting business ties between the world’s two largest economies while declaring American national security trade measures off-limits for debate.
Raimondo, who was greeted upon arrival by Chinese commerce ministry official Lin Feng, will hold bilateral meetings with Chinese officials on Monday and Tuesday in Beijing before she heads to Shanghai. She will be joined by US ambassador to China Nicholas Burns. Republicans in Congress have criticised the possibility Raimondo will establish a working group with China during the visit to discuss US semiconductor export controls.
“Just because we’re investing in America does not mean at all that we want to decouple from China’s economy,” Raimondo said. She spoke to more than 100 senior business leaders before the visit and vowed to raise their concerns.
