Republican lawmakers are warning Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo not to let China weigh in on US export controls during her upcoming trip to Beijing, where she may announce a working group with her Chinese counterparts focused on planned American regulation of investment in high-tech Chinese companies.
The working group, a potential partnership between her department and China’s commerce ministry that was first reported by Bloomberg News, would discuss US restrictions on American firms’ high-tech exports to China and Chinese companies that have been added to a Commerce Department export blacklist.
Export controls have provoked fierce opposition from Beijing at a time when the Biden administration is trying to improve sour relations, all while hard-liners in Washington are pushing for even more curbs — and urging against negotiating with Chinese officials.
The Commerce Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter or Raimondo’s plans for a working group.
