Commerce secretary Gina Raimondo said US businesses were willing to make their relationship work with China.
While in China recently, Raimondo had said there was strong appetite among US businesses to make the relationship work and that, while some actions of the Chinese government were positive, the situation on the ground needed to match the rhetoric. Raimondo has said US firms faced new challenges, among them unexplained large fines, raids on businesses and changes to a counter-espionage law.
