As the US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman concluded her visit to the Asia-Pacific region by meeting with China's State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Vice Minister Xie Feng on July 26 in Tianjin, the US business community in China has gained further insights about the dynamics between the US and China under the Biden administration. Despite the "return of rationality" in US decision making, as many expected, high levels of strategic distrust still exist between Washington and Beijing.


In the ICT sector, the most concerning aspect is rooted in the lack of harmony between policies in China and the US, particularly around cyber/data security, export controls, and sanctions. With the US still leading in R&D, the recent desire to localize their supply chain and taper their dependency on China, US policies are regarded as hostile from a Chinese perspective. Following the Biden Administration's continued efforts to build a more reliable domestic supply chain, China is responding with their own localization-oriented policies. This growing discord creates a cycle of tit-for-tat retaliation without either side engaging in meaningful conversation that resolves the underlying distrust.
