Raimondo is due to visit Beijing and Shanghai in China from Sunday to Wednesday next week. She looks forward to constructive discussions on issues relating to the US-China trade ties, challenges faced by US businesses, and areas for potential cooperation, the Department said.

The visit will strengthen prior agreements on maintaining high-level contacts across a range of issues discussed at last year’s meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Raimondo’s trip follows a series of high-ranking visits to China by US officials in recent months, in an attempt to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies, including a visit in June by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and another in July by Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen.
