BEIJING, China—US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo met with her Chinese counterpart in Beijing on Monday, saying it was “profoundly important”
Her visit is the latest in a series of high-level trips to China by US officials in recent months as Washington works to cool trade tensions with Beijing.
“We share $700 billion dollars of trade and I concur with you that it is profoundly important that we have a stable economic relationship,” she said, according to a readout from the US Commerce Department.“We will of course disagree on certain issues, but I believe we can make progress if we are direct, open, and practical.”
During her trip, she will also travel to China’s economic powerhouse Shanghai, the US Commerce Department said. She will leave on Wednesday. This month, Biden issued an executive order aimed at restricting certain US investments in sensitive high-tech areas in China — a move Beijing blasted as being “anti-globalization”.
