The U.S. Department of the Treasury said on Thursday that Neiman, the department's assistant secretary for international finance, will hold engagements in Hong Kong"building on President Biden's direction to deepen ties between the world's two largest economies".Neiman's visit comes as China's economy slows, weighed by weak consumer and private business sentiment, high levels of debt and a property market downturn.
"Neiman will stress the United States' focus on securing and advancing our economic and national security interests, along with those of our allies and protecting human rights," the statement said.
