The Biden administration removed dozens of Chinese companies from a trade restriction list the same day a top U.S. official announced her trip to Beijing for “constructive discussions” amid stabilization efforts with China.

The U.S. Commerce Department announced on Tuesday that Secretary Gina Raimondo will meet with Chinese officials and American business leaders to discuss “issues relating to the U.S.-China commercial relationship, challenges faced by U.S. businesses, and areas for potential cooperation,” during a visit to Beijing on Sunday. The Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) removed 27 Chinese companies from its unverified list the same day of the announcement, making it easier for those companies to trade with the U.S, according to a Tuesday press release from the BIS.

We welcome the U.S. decision to remove Chinese entities from the “unverified list,” Liu Pengyu, spokesman for China’s Embassy in the U.S., said in a tweet on Tuesday. “It shows that [China and the U.S.] can address specific concerns through communication, based on mutual respect. China will continue to firmly defend its lawful rights and interests.”

Raimondo’s Beijing visit comes one month after her email server, along with other servers in the Commerce and State Department, was breached by a Chinese-based hacking group that targeted dozens of global organizations over a months-long cyber attack campaign.

The Commerce Department and the BIS did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
