(Washington Composite Television) People familiar with the matter revealed that the US Minister of Commerce Raymond plans to visit China in late August. The date is expected to be on August 21, but the date may be adjusted.
Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter and said that it is unclear what the results of Raymond visited Hua Neng to American companies, and because they do not know whether they can bring positive results to American companies, Raymond Duo hesitated to this trip.
The News Office of the US Department of Commerce refuses to comment on the visit time.As for what topics who want to discuss with Chinese officials, the Ministry of Commerce has not responded.Raymondo said at a event in Washington last week that she plans to "visit China later this summer", but "is still finalized date and plan."
Maybe sensitive moments of bilateral relations between China and the United States
Raymond's visit to China may meet the sensitive moments of bilateral relations between China and the United States, because the US President Biden expects to sign an administrative order in mid -August to limit US investment in China.
If you become a line, this will be the first visit to China since Raymond Duo has served as the Minister of Commerce, and it is also the fourth senior official of the government in China since June.Senior officials who visited China before were Secretary of State Brosky, Minister of Finance Yellen, and Climate Special Envoy Cry.
Except for further dialogue between the two parties, the previous visits by senior US government officials have not achieved significant public results.In the past few months, China and the United States have exacerbated the tension because of suspected Chinese spy balloon, the United States' implementation of export control on computer chip technology, and military confrontation between the South China Sea; the White House is seeking a relaxation relationship.
Bynden's proposed foreign investment administrative order, focusing on semiconductors, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, will not affect existing investment, and will only prohibit certain transactions.However, Beijing is still dissatisfied, thinking that this is designed to be isolated and curbing China.
People familiar with the matter said that the possible results of Raymond's trip is the establishment of a working group between the Ministry of Commerce of the United States and China to discuss US export control measures.These measures are designed to prevent cutting -edge technology from the Chinese military.
Raymond has been at the forefront in the operation of the White House to curb Beijing's advanced technology, including export control measures announced last year.Last month, Raymond's email was reportedly invaded by suspected Chinese hackers.
Raymond Duo is also responsible for promoting the export of the United States to China and implemented a semiconductor investment plan of $ 52 billion (about S $ 69.3 billion) to reduce the dependence of American chips in Asian chips.
Raymond multi -said at a event last week: "We need to carry out business with China as much as possible. We need to promote it (trade between the two countries). But we must also protect the place of protection.Both aspects can play a role. "
