US, China seek to stabilize economic ties amid tensions, but challenges remain

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visited China to improve trade relations and address business complaints about the country becoming "uninvestible."
The US and China agreed to establish dialogues on export controls and commercial issues to reduce trade tensions.
China requested the US ease export controls on technology, but Raimondo rejected this citing national security concerns.
Raimondo emphasized the importance of maintaining stable economic ties between the two countries despite tensions.
While the talks were largely positive, concrete actions were limited and major disputes around technology, security and human rights persist.
