US commerce chief tells China counterpart hi-tech trade limits ‘not negotiable’

US President Joe Biden’s restrictions on hi-tech trade with China came to a head in meetings between the countries’ top commerce officials.
In a call with her Chinese counterpart, Wang Wentao, US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo defended these rules put in place on national-security grounds as “not negotiable”, her department said on Tuesday.

Raimondo “noted ongoing concerns from the US business community about decreasing regulatory transparency in the PRC, non-market policies and practices, and structural overcapacity in a range of industrial sectors”, according to a read-out.

“Secretary Raimondo reiterated that US national security is not negotiable and re-emphasised that the US government’s ‘small-yard, high-fence’ approach aims to safeguard US national security in as targeted a manner as possible, while leaving space for healthy trade and investment,” it added.
