US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said her visit to China produced “a great deal of progress,” though “there can be no trust” unless Beijing takes action in areas such as more predictable regulations.
Raimondo’s comments in an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation amplify her stance since returning last week from her four-day tour and meetings with senior Chinese officials, part of an effort by President Joe Biden’s administration to ease strains between the world’s two biggest economies.
