Relations between the U.S. and China — the two largest economies in the world — have been rocky over the past year.

Some Chinese firms had initially considered setting up manufacturing in the U.S. to avoid elevated tariffs, but put their plans on hold as bilateral tensions escalated, said Rhodium. One such company is tech firm Bitmain Technologies, which froze its planned investment of $500 million, the report said.
