Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is set to become the latest government official to travel to China amid rising tensions between the two countries. The worsening relations are leaving American companies facing an uncertain environment.
Even before tensions increased between the two countries, U.S. companies' perceptions of China had already taken a hit.
