Politico reports that US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is expected to visit China this week for talks on the Biden administration's plans to "de-risk" critical supply chains.

• Politico reports: "The Chinese embassy said Thursday it would welcome Raimondo, but warned that Beijing is considering retaliating against a White House order to restrict American investment into advanced technology sectors in China."
• Politico writes, "officials could also discuss opening up more sectors for foreign investors between China and Washington, even as the U.S. moves to restrict trade in a narrow set of advanced technology sectors."
• Raimondo's trip is likely to illicit a critical response from hawks in Congress who have called on the administration to expand restrictions on China.
• Rep Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) in a letter, called on Raimondo to, "publicly clarify that U.S. export controls are non-negotiable," and warned the Secretary against "joining the Chinese government in a working group."
• House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-TX) said: “We cannot keep sending senior administration officials to Beijing when they continue to only respond with provocation and hostility.”
