SHANGHAI/WASHINGTON—The Biden administration’s top commerce official told her Chinese counterpart that Washington is concerned about Beijing’s unfair and market-distorting industrial policies, the Commerce Department said on Thursday, the latest high-level exchange as the countries spar over disagreements.
The department said U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s phone call with China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao also included discussion of Washington’s view on “the need to level the playing field for U.S. companies in China and the importance of protecting U.S. technology from unauthorized users.”
