U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo speaks during the press conference at the Boeing Shanghai Aviation Service Co., Ltd, in Shanghai, China, on Aug. 30, 2023. | Andy Wong/AP PhotoCommerce Secretary Gina Raimondo confirmed Sunday she was hacked by Chinese actors shortly before visiting the country this past week.
“They did hack me, which was unappreciated, to say the least. I brought it up, clearly. Put it right on the table,” Raimondo told host Chuck Todd on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Raimondo was the first Commerce secretary to visit the country in five years, having received an invitation from Chinese Minister of Commerce Weng Wentao. Her visit represented both an attempt to improve dialogue between the two economic powers and“It’s a complicated relationship,” Raimondo said. “There’s no doubt about it. We are in a fierce competition with China at every level. And anyone who tells you differently is naive. All of that being said, we have to manage this competition.
The Commerce secretary, having joined multiple senior Cabinet officials who have visited the country in recent months, announced a new “working group” on commercial issues and established a new “information exchange” dialogue. Cabinet members who have taken recent trips to China include CIA Director Bill Burns, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“In my trip, even the most senior Chinese officials said all of the right things, said that they wanted to have a robust commercial relationship, and treat American businesses fairly on the ground in China,” Raimondo said.
