Bloomberg: China Dangles Investment to Ease Trump's Deal Curbs

According to a Bloomberg report, China is urging the Trump administration to ease national security restrictions on Chinese investments in the U.S. In exchange, Chinese negotiators are reportedly offering a substantial investment package that could reshape U.S. policy regarding Chinese economic engagement. Beyond relaxing investment restrictions, China is also seeking reduced U.S. tariffs on imported components used in Chinese-owned factories built within the United States. The Bloomberg report, citing sources familiar with the discussions, provides no specifics on the industries or investment amounts involved. This negotiation underscores the continuing friction between U.S. national security priorities and the potential benefits of increased economic collaboration.
