U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that the Biden administration needs to help American businesses export to China and do business in the world’s second-largest economy, even as it protects workers from unfair practices and competition.

Much of her focus in the first 1 1/2 years on the job will be domestic, Raimondo said, touting Biden’s proposal for a $50 billion fund to build semiconductors and programs to retrain workers.
