According to Bloomberg, US Commerce Secretary Raymond plans to visit China at the end of August. According to American media, this indicates that the Biden administration hopes to further ease the relationship between the world's two largest economies.

According to insiders, Raymond hopes to go to Beijing during the week of August 21st, but the specific date has not been determined yet. During an event at the Wilson Center in Washington last week, Raymond stated that she plans to visit China "later this summer", but "the specific date and plan are still pending.".

The report stated that it is currently uncertain what positive results Raymond's trip will bring to American companies, which is why Raymond is hesitant to set off.

The US Department of Commerce News Office refused to comment on the visit time and did not answer questions about which topics Raymond hopes to discuss with his Chinese counterparts.

The Governor of Chang'an Street noticed that although Raymond has repeatedly expressed her desire to visit China, she still does not forget to hype up the topic of "Chinese hackers invading her email accounts". Moreover, Raymond has been playing a "vanguard" role in the United States' efforts to curb China's acquisition of advanced technology, including the export controls announced last year.

A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly refuted the topic of US hype about "hacker intrusion" and pointed out that since last year, China and other countries' cybersecurity agencies have successively released reports exposing the US government's long-term implementation of cyber attacks against China. However, the US has not responded so far. The US should quickly explain the relevant cyber attack behavior, rather than spreading false information to divert attention.

In recent years, the US government has continuously increased its pressure on China's chip industry, using various excuses to restrict the export of chips and related equipment and technology to China, hindering China's progress in the semiconductor field. On October 7, 2022, the US Department of Commerce added 31 Chinese companies, research institutions, and other groups to the so-called "unverified list", restricting them from purchasing or acquiring US semiconductor technology without permission.

According to Bloomberg, Biden is set to sign an order in mid August aimed at limiting US investment in key technologies in China, including semiconductors, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. The planned visit by Raymond may come during this period.

On the afternoon of July 13th, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, Shu Jueting, stated at a regular press conference that China holds an open and welcoming attitude towards the visit of US Secretary of Commerce Raymond to China and is currently communicating with the US side regarding this matter. China will continue to be committed to resolving mutual concerns in the economic and trade fields through dialogue and communication, and promoting constructive and pragmatic cooperation.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
