The United States and China have agreed to launch a new export control enforcement information dialogue and a formal working group on commercial issues, according to the US Commerce Department. This move provides a potential platform for Beijing to address concerns about US national security policies. The first in-person meeting of the export control information exchange will take place on Tuesday in Beijing. However, it should be noted that the US emphasis on export controls has been criticized by China. The White House plans to implement restrictions on US investment in sensitive technologies in China and is finalizing export restrictions on advanced semiconductors. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who met with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, wants to address concerns from US businesses operating in China that are facing difficulties. The new commercial issues working group will involve government officials and private sector representatives from both countries to seek solutions on trade and investment issues and promote US commercial interests in China.
